You Know You Want a Revolution

[Mooselake]

Got a BobsCNC Revolution 4th axis router, with a Makita trim router spindle.   Great fun!

Picked the package deal with Vectric VCarve Desktop, as recommended by Bob, for it's rotary axis wrapping capability.  This machine has X, Z, and A axes, no Y.  Kinda sorta somewhat like a lathe with a router instead of turning tools, although this lathe will turn a square.  Still learning how to use it, in conjunction with turning one end of a 24x48' barn into a woodshop.  As usual, despite now being completely retired, there's never enough time for everything.  Also got a Sainsmart LE5040 and rotary axis this summer, plus Lightburn, same time issue.  Spending more time working on the shop than in the shop, still, this has been a slow 5 year project that started with building a wall followed by breaking up the old concrete floor (500 drywall buckets of rocks and busted up concrete) only to find another floor a foot deeper.  None of the surviving previous owners (120 year old farm) knew it was there or why the floor had been raised.  Good enough to build an insulated treated wood floor over it, and got enough height for a 2hp cyclone dust collector which still lacks ductwork.  As I said, never ending...
