Signmaking
Had a full day yesterday, filming the Torque Work Centre,
Aaron and Luke came down from Yandina. They make the tool with Keith, who couldn't make it down.
And Stuart arrived with his trusty video camera to take some footage of the machine in action.
Had a blast and learned a few more things the wee beastie can do.
For a start we just set it up with a router [Makita 3612C ] and did some basic rabbets dados and grooves.
Cut an arc and did some angle routing. Pretty cool.\
Then we made a board up with some letters glued on and cut a raised letter welcome sign and using a template and a HSS mill bit routed a sign in aluminium. I used the copy attachment arm to do this. Run the pin around the template and the router follows in the timber or other material.
Not bad for my first attempt.
