Very impressive machining job on those parts John!!!
I'm guessing you're using a CNC machine (computer numerical
control), but I'm wondering what size the machine is?
To machine plastic at a small scale you don't need much
power, so I'm guessing it's like a desktop CNC machine.
Also, what material did you use, nylon, or ABS billet? :)
I'm sure other AFOL engineers would also like to know....

PS. I hope those LEGO engineers in Billund are reading this
newsgroup....
