Nice! Can't wait to see the part! Did you get a 4th/rotary with the 1100? Interested to see how you set up the 105deg holes.

I'm just thankful it's not a size between the 750 and 1100... I may have been a bit sick if it was!Wow if this was around 2 years ago, knowing what I know now, I would have gone for it.
LMAO, I got a little sick, It's just pricey enough and I had enough fun building mine, but dude that's a nice package. Fit in anybodies garage, pathpilot is looking awesome. Wow what a cool package. Ready to go!
How's your's doing?????

CZ as well, though not in stock at this vendor

agree with the 10/22 advice,but to answer your question Savage does make a 22 bolt lefty, in stock at Davidsons.

If you've go the time before the wife shoots you lol, I used these to set up a chain hoist in my garage.

I put a piece of unistrut in the attic on top of the rafters, dropped some 1/2" all thread down to the shop ceiling and hung another piece of strut with the mcmaster hangers.
Harbor freight chain fall on the mcmaster trolley has been pretty handy.
ETA curved strut too if you need it. I just used stuff from hd.

How many 929's have been made available to the public, 5? We ordered some for the shop and never saw any. I've personally only held one. I haven't even seen new 627s for sale in the last 3 years.wow, all those new 929 that were sold !!!

Thank you. I got a laptop and fusion 360 as recommended. I have learned soooo much. Every time I sit down on the computer it becomes more and more natural for me. I am really looking forward to this.
Thank you for the wood idea! I was thinking about what to use cheap for practice
you're gonna have so much fun

Just got some of these
http://www.wheelgun-supply.com/S_W9MM38SX8_EXTREME_STAINLESS_STEEL_MOON_CLIPS/p3073750_14537981.aspx
They fit the Lapua 9mm brass beautifully!!!!
The factory 0.035 clips had a little wobble and felt like they were pinching the case with just two points of contact if that makes sense. The case would kind of pivot between the two points of the cut out.
The 0.040 wheelgun supply clips are snug but the case still spins freely in the clip, they just feel like a good fit for the Lapua.

It is very liberating to be able to make anything you want.

I'm a mechanic as well, industrial/heavy equipment. One of my greatest fears is losing use of my hands.
You know just have fun with the new machine for a while. You can make anything you would on a manual mill, and much easier, the 3d stuff will come along in time. I'm still learning something new every time I use the machine.
Theres a lot to learn lol. I say that with a smile because its my favorite part of all this.
Whats the lead time on delivery?

Ok good to know. I got the Tormach parts maker kit. I emailed them and was told it had the computer needed as well as software. If that's not the case I'll be picking up a laptop tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!
As for now I only have tablets.
I don't really know, maybe somebody else can chime in here. The Tormach pc will obviously have your machine control software. As I understand it that's now PathPilot which is LinuxCNC based. I use LInuxCNC on my homebuilt and love it!
But I don't know if anything of the cad/cam programs will jive with it. That's a good question for Tormach!
Whether its the one that comes with the Tormach or something else as far as I know you'll need a pc of somekind for cam.
From some youtubes I've seen the PathPilot does have some conversational programming. That means you can probably do some cool stuff with it without any cad/cam. You can also always run the machine with out any programming at all. I'm not trying to imply you need cad/cam right away.You can definitely be cutting metal without cad/cam, it'll just be an awesome manual machine, where you push a button instead of turning a hand wheel and have an accurate DRO built in.

I'm not sure how new you are to this. This is all brand new to me, and this website was very helpful.
Nice guy too, have emailed back and forth a couple times. And a shooter!
I bought his speeds and feeds software, just the 1hp version, for like $70. Worth every penny.

F360 has an app, called A360. Its seems to me its mostly for viewing and making notes. I'm not aware that you can model in it, definitely not cam.
Onshape I don't know, but I thought I read they could model on a tablet.
By "kit" do you mean the Tormach control computer? I don't have one, but I think you're going to want to cad/cam on a separate pc. Both F360 and Onshape are good on Mac or Windows, and since they're cloud based they don't need too much horsepower. No high end graphics cards needed. Pretty much any pc or laptop is fine.
Onshape is completely in the cloud and will run on anything with a browser, including my chromebook, so maybe it will work on a phone/tablet.
F360 needs to install a small program on your pc, and will not run on a chromebook.
Check out both for cad and see what works best for you
For cam though its tough to beat the free f360. You can import from any cad you like.

They've been updating it regularly, it's pretty stable now. There are some outstanding youtubes out there. Curtis chan and Lars Christenson, both auto desk employees, are my favorites for cam stuff.
I'd recommend getting signed up, following the intro you tubes on their website. You might not need a formal classroom.
They've got an excellent forum as well, lots of help there.
Eta the classes will probably be software specific. They all seem pretty different to me anyway.

If u aren't already friendly with something else I'd suggest fusion360 for cad/cam. I'd also suggest starting to play with it while you're waiting for your new toy. It took me a while before I felt like I could draw and make a part with any efficiency.
Onshape is another cad option, and could be paired with the auto desk free cam.

Cool, thanks for the spec.

The midway sale was over, but Graf's still has the good price on Lapua 9mm. Got some on the way, if nobody else gets to it I'll post the groove dimension.

sending good energy your way, take care brother.

yikes, and kudos

Ok good to know. I'm looking at the parts maker kit. Seems to be everything. I'm going to call them later this week and be sure I will be able to do what I want to with it.
Check out NYCNC and JohnGrimsmo on youtube. Both do a lot of cool stuff with an 1100
you're gonna have so much fun
