Re: Boom/crane truck
Freddy, couple of questions for you. Where do you get your hydraulics and where did you get the diamond plate?
Do you use a CNC machine for cutting your parts. This is looking great, keep up the good work!!! A+ |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Hydro's and D plate come from PMD and he uses a saw to cut all his parts he is just that good..

Re: Boom/crane truck
Trailer almost looks as good as the truck:rolleyes: I still can't believe you just use a scroll saw to do the majority of your metal work.

Re: Boom/crane truck
Freddy, I use a scroll saw as well. I have been needing to get a variable speed unit. What brand and model is yours? I know what you mean about feeding it slow and just giving it what is wants. What size of blade do you use, teeth wise? Thanks for the input.

Re: Boom/crane truck
Fred your looking good with the build. I bought 2 lb. blocks of wax and tried it and a little goes a long way. Hit it once with the wax and cut out 2 mirrors for the excavator. Ed;)

Re: Boom/crane truck
AAAWWWW.......Now you got me TC1. I actually have a mimi lazer in my basement.:D These are the parts I just got done burnin out this mornin.
http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4957.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4958.jpg Yea,you should'a seen the look on the chicks face at the power company when I told her I wanted to put a 3phase 400amp service into a residential house.:eek::eek: To run my lazer:eek::eek::D:D:cool:. Now Z/C,I'm givin you some of my secrets here, would be nice if it don't come back & bite me in the butt.:rolleyes: I use 3 different teeth per inch blades. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4965.jpg Fine you use for very thin aluminium.Medium for a little thicker,& coarse for thick alum. If you try to use coarse for thin,it'll just grab it. Fine or med on thick alum will run hot & Just make a mess. Be sure to hit blade w/bee's wax about every 15 seconds if you want perfect cuts. If the blade gets hot,it's all over. Hey Jammer,I won't say I told you so.:p Works slick don't it? Well Guys & Gales,Thanks for the nice complements! A little more work on the trailer http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4959.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4960.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4961.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4963.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4964.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4969.jpg I can't believe how much the truck settled from all the weight. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4967.jpg Yea,this babies gittin some more springs,it's draggin it's butt now,& there's still a lot more parts that weight yet to go in.:eek: I'de have to haul cotton balls for a load :o Here's a couple more pics of the two hooked together. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4966.jpg http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/n...mppics4968.jpg Yea,she'll look a lot better sittin level. Glad I didn't waste the parts makin it front wheel drive. Those back axles have a LOT of weight on them. Thanks for lookin! FGD |
Re: Boom/crane truck
Fred it does work and it isn't as messy as ATF. The 2 mirrors for the excavator I just hit it once timer with each mirror. The blocks I got are thick so that may be the reason it cut so well with out having to keep putting it on because I notice it filled the teeth with wax. Ed

Re: Boom/crane truck
Fred there is one other thing I noticed you have a solid table were as mine has a plastic insert were the blade goes through the table. I am going to have to make another plate out of thick aluminum to replace it because if flexes on short pieces. Ed

Re: Boom/crane truck
Pfft..you can't do that with just a scroll saw..:p I think there is a full CNC setup hiding behind the cardboard "curtain".:D
Nice work Fred. |
