Epoxy

Hi all,

For couple of month I was reading different literature, science papers and forums about epoxy granite. I found very interesting topics in www.cnczone.com and www.cnc.info.pl about using it to build CNC frame. And I start to dig deeper. I check availability of epoxy resin in Poland. I found one, parameters of it are very promising: EPOLAM 2002. It is mainly used to laminating, but It can be used to create epoxy granite.
So I found aggregate to fill it. I used two type of aquarium sand:
- 0 to 2 mm diameter,
- 1 to 5 mm  diameter.
After I collect all elements I decide to create MDF mold, It was 150 x 50 mm and 60 mm high. I used wax as separator. I have create 4 samples.

  

1. I used 50/50 of sands and use resin 14,5% of volume, It was not vibrated.

Future & past

Hi,

FUTURE

Slowly I am preparing to move out. CNC from MDF was sold last week. I hope new user will be contented with it. I am building new shelfs to workshop because I was using owner of the place furniture to store my stuff.

I made them from dust board (18 mm ) and prepare to use bunch of box that I am using. They are really heavy.
 In plans there was some new CNC. I can not decide what to do (big plotter or small mill), but there was something that helped me to make decision. Wooden RACK box, that is used to send PC equipment was lying around in company that I am working. So I decide to use it. I will write about it more info soon.

Cyclone

Hi all,

I decided to build something that should be build long time ago - cyclone. Paper bags to my workshop  vacuum are incredible expensive. This is why I decided to used some plastic pipes (100 mm and 150 mm diameter)  and bucket, use some MDF and silicone for sealing everything. This is how it goes:

Move out

Hi all,

Sad news, I have to move out. Owners of the place where I have now my workshop are complaining. Noise is to big for them. even that I work there 2 times a week for about 3 hours per visit. But ok ...
So I trying to find new place to hire.
Let hope that I can managed to do it.
