Just when you think you've learned it all, that is when you find you haven't learned anything yet.

Man alive you've been busy. One beautiful work to the next.
I gotta say, lol... look at that lock's face as he sets on your mill awaiting surgery. The poor guy, he looks terrified! ROFL

Ive got a couple weeks off work so ive been able to bang out each cutaway a day its about time I cut down on my overstocked to do pile.
I took great satisfaction making him scream.

I could hear his howls of agony from here. Still, a job well done, even if it is at the expense of a usable lock. If you want, I'll send you postage so you can get rid of it by sending that scrap metal my way.

Nice work on the latest. I wouldn't think there's all too many BiLock cutaways?

Not many that I know of, I had to use photos from various sources to recreate this cutaway.
Re: Supallama Cutaways
crankin' em out! really nice work. Would love to hear your thoughts on the X2 mini mill... I've been considering one for a long time, but haven't had opportunity to check one out in person or heard any trustable reviews. Specifically, how's the rigidity? Looks like you're getting very nice surfaces, are you taking lots of light cuts or will it hold up if you push it a little? Can you hold tight tolerances? I'd just be doing small parts of similar size to what you're working with, so it seems like it'd fit the bill based on your pics. Also important, is it loud? I'm in an apartment...
Re: Supallama Cutaways
Can you shoot me a msg on cost break down if I sent you for example a corbin mortise to make a cutaway an assa twin or medeco M3
I have been out of the picking game for a few years and I have pulled out some of my old cylinders and I am having some difficulty getting the feel back having a cutaway would be awesome to visualize what is goign on for sure.

Love my X2 mini mill, id recommend upgrading to the belt drive for a quieter system overall as i can be pretty loud (Zero power loss). Cuts depend on the material but I usually keep my cuts lighter based on the endmills I tend to use (1/8 inch down to .02 carbide) I also do finishing passes with finishing endmills to clean up any surface issues. The X2 is however very capable of taking much deeper cuts but I dont have the belt upgrade just yet so I stay in a comfortable pace to keep up production. I would also recommend getting a collet chuck and get a second set of shims for the XYZ axis' and properly cut them so the bolts holding the shims in place can properly grab them. Very rigid system nonetheless.
