Following on from the recent thread on nameplates I took a few clips of Video of one I did this afternoon. I got a cry for HELP a couple of weeks ago, it would seem that Graham Corry's (of Alyn Foundry) loose piece that produces the name on his Retlas engine's base casting had been lost and could I help with a replacement. After a bit of playing about with Alibre and then F360 I had about 100,000 lines of G-code on a USB stick which I promptly stuck in the KX3 together with a piece of 1/4" brass and after 103mins this is what I ended up with. I think I will put it on a chain so he can wear it around his neck which may also help prevent this one getting lost too

I gave the part I made in my previous post a quick bead blast and was happy that all the toolmarks have gone, goes to show that they are more visual than physical and that the tool is going up and down at a consistent height.
