Great stuff Mike. I'd love to go and do a TAFE course on metalwork and fabrication, but I'd be annoyed if the teacher didn't have your passion!

What a great explanation of how these things work and why. Understanding the why's and therefores helps making sense of this, to me anyway.
Thanks Mike

Craig,
I work for TAFESA as a maintenance fitter, you will find that the country lecturers have a great attitude and passion for their work as they have to cover all aspects of the job from visiting employers to counselling students.
If you choose to complete a night class you will find the lecturers go out of their way to pass on their skills and experience.
Just my observations from in side the organisations.
Cheers
SVO

I had good experience with TAFE. I did a MIG welding course many years ago and it was brilliant.
I'm a trainer by profession now so that's why I probably feel the need to explain things LOL!
Cheers

What's so funny about that?
I think that clip was very informative.

I've been collecting a few more bits of tooling for the new mill.
These turned up in the post today. They are corner rounding bits. I've always wanted a set and with the CNC they are so much easier to use as you can just add the tool offset into the program.
For those who don't now what they are, they are designed to cut a nice rounded outside edge. Like the ball nose end mill cuts a rounded inside edge. This set has a variety of radius cutters from 1mm to 8mm.
Should be able to add some nice finishing details to parts with them.
Got a few more goodies in the post but they haven't turned up yet.
Cheers

Here's a little machining job idea I've been working on. I've designed a work light for the milling machine that attaches to the end of the quill. It uses an LED Halo ring like they use in BMW headlights. The idea is the the light shines around the whole cutter and casts no shadows so you can see the cut easier.
The normal work light shining in from the side can cast shadows making it hard to see sometimes when you are trying to machine up to a scribe line etc.
The Aluminum housing attaches to the end of the quill with some strong neodymium magnets. This lets you quickly un-clip it for extra clearance. 12V DC connects to it via a curly cord that stretches and retracts with the quill.
It was a fun machining project.
Cheers

Waved goodbye to my old milling machine this morning. A bloke up in Canberra bought it on eBay about 6 weeks back but took some time to organize picking it up. A crane truck turned up bright an early this morning and we loaded it up.
I was sad to see it go. It had been a great machine and probably special to me as I'd bought it new off the showroom floor.
The crane truck was pretty cool and lifted the 1.2 ton machine like it was a feather.
At least it has freed up some space in the workshop.
Cheers
Mike
