No tool selection so in here.. Just a Tool I used lately.. Loved it..
I do not have one or ‘selling’ anything.. Just a tool I used a few weeks ago that I do not have.. I have or have access to many BIG metal workin’ tools but these were really cool!
The one I used was Puter’ controlled but the Basic tools is REALLY nice.. Well, fer’ a ‘little’ thing…
Take a look.. May fit into you folks that make planes in brass or other?…

Hmmm, I sure didn't know they used CNC machines to cut circuit boards! Back in my electronics days I had silk screens made from the art work and etched the boards. 100 boards in a day in my garage shop was not uncommon. Are CNC machines more for prototyping circuit boards?

Mike... its been my experience that most circuit boards are made with CNC thesedays.... moreso when you're talking an 8 layer board... Back in the day when boards were double sided and thru hole plate, when they broke ya could fix em... but now.... everything's mostly surface mount... components so small that one sneeze can skatter the bloody things to all corners...

Thanks, Will.
I have given up woodworming as of now-too dirty and dusty.
I am converting to making clocks and scale model aircraft engines-I think an easy one to start with would be an 18 cylinder Pratt and Whitney radial engine.
Seriously-those clocks and other amazing stuff don't just up and make themselves just because of a cnc guided system or two...
Geez, Philip
We're sure gonna miss you around here. Let us know when the aircraft engine section of FWW.com starts up, so we can drop in and say "HEY, PHILIP!!"
Man, that medicine I'm taking must have some kick to it.
LOL

I used to work for a fire bombing company as an AME on DC6's and A26's that had P&W R2800 engines. Be sure to make your models "loose" so that they leak and burn the proper amount of oil. Some of the high time engines (getting close to overhaul) would go through 4 or 5 gallons of oil per hour fighting fires. Good thing they have 29 gallon oil tanks. A DC6 could easily take a 45 gallon drum every 3 to 4 hours of bombing. Never have to do oil changes but a pain to wash!
