I finally got all the pieces parts and additional electronics scrounged to build and add a 4th axis to my engraver. This is something I've wanted to do for quite a while but never had the time to spend on it. Once all of the parts got here I had to replace the 3 axis interface in my controller and add a driver for the 4th axis motor. After I had that debugged I slapped together a simple rotary axis, hooked everything together, and surprisingly it actually worked! After some tweaking I gave it a try this morning and here is the results of my first test on a test piece of stainless stock. I have some more experimenting to do but I think I'm almost there. Further down in the thread are pics of the engraving on a case...

Used to get some nice egg rolls at a little stop in Champaign off 57. I wonder if it's still there. Welcome to the site Chris.

It looks beautiful & I certainly get that there is something to be said for building it yourself, but these types of builds always beg the question - considering the cost, why not just buy the gen?

Great build. Very jealous. If she ever fancies a warmer climate let me know

Torro is a good trusted dealer. Make sure you use the link to his website from RWG as there are fake sites copying our TD's out there. Noob and BP are rep factories. Both make great reps. Some people prefer BP, some Noob although sometimes one factory produces a better version of a certain watch compared to the other. I suggest that you spend plenty of time here in the forums and research the watch that you want to buy before spending your money.
