Tahir Plaque
This is a very early piece. A little plaque out of plastic practicing cutting speeds and optimizing G-Code. The plastic is double-side taped to a piece of wood which is also double-side taped to the mill. Given to my parents. Around 5-02
Here is my brother, Zaig, working on the on/off control board for the mill. Thanks Man! Turn you spindle, coolant etc. on/off via G-code! Build it.

Grinder Guide
Grinding lathe bits precisely is tough! I made a grinder attachment using the stock tool post. I found the tool post would still deflect and an extra brace was needed. Currently I am using a White wheel with good results. However, the AL table and AL guide stick making it difficult to use this setup.

 Router Table Here is my router table almost completely made using the router! Completely made out of MDF 1/2" thick boards and plywood/counter top. I used a piece of polycarbonate made for routers as the insert. A light switch turns on/off the router and vacuum. Porter Cable router does the work. 7-03 |
 Kitchen Island After finally buying a router and completing my router table it was time to try it out. I made this island for the kitchen with 3 drawers and slide in/out garbage holder. It came out great! 7-03 |
First Knurling
I cut my first knurl and it was quite easy! I used a Dremel sanding drum (coarse grit) and put it on a simple spinning mount. I pressed the sanding drum to the aluminum as it was spun at a slow speed. Try it, its easy with aluminum!

Cyclic Limiter Ring
I cut this out of Plexi-glass. That stuff is tough! After reading about limiter rings, I finally understood why they are helpful.. Cutting pieces like this on the mill is a snap if the material is right. 3-7-04
Ophthalmoscope Holder
I kept dropping my scopes and was afraid of them breaking. So I made a holder out of Oak. The CNC Router did most of the work and then I finished it by hand using the router and router table. The standoffs are aluminum pieces cut from an aluminum arrow that I had laying around. Awesome! 2-15-06
