(...) Yes, it sure is. Since the 1/16" end mill is so incredibly slow, I had to make some design modifications to the 2x4 brick so that it could be entirely milled using a 1/8" mill. The mods include corner radiuses and partial tubes...but hopefully (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Bram, how are you going to do the corners inside the box? Tricky, huh? (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Wow, the specs for the Microproto look much better than the training machines we use in my CNC class here at school. I think they're Enco...not sure. Anyway, their max RPM is 2000, which means that parts take forever to mill, and we can only (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I'm sure any definition of Technic wouldn't require the model to actually move. In fact being mainly built of beams I'd catagorise T.J's bridge as being very Technic indeed. I've alway avoided trying to come up with a definition for what is (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Hey man thanks for the joint pics!! Those joints remind me alot of the Alpha Team arm-thingies. Those are going to be fun to tinker with!! As for you getting those sets, you are one lucky guy. I work at Wal-mart and got busted snooping through the (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)

Hi Don, If your gear train does not require too much torque, you could try using two rubber wheels as bevel gears. By having one tire ride on the face of the other wheel, you can get any fractional ratio you want. I've once seen a car in a museum (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.technic)
