Sorry, you're quite right.....$60 is what I meant to put. Maths was never my strong point!

This new drill sould give me a bit more accruarcy and some scope to try somew new techniques. Im thinking about getting a few router bits and maybe work on some perspex. It's easy to clamp a fence in place and do some of that type of stuff. Also I can get a sanding drum etc...

Cheers

Ouch!

Update.....

I'm experimenting with the idea of lasers for the new interocitor. Here's how to make them do those wonderful spirograph patterns.

It doesn't matter how high quality your electric motors are there's allways a bit of slack in the bearings. This is enough to produce a pleasing effect that varies with the speed of the motors. It gives those spirograph type patterns.

So, I have ordered a couple of cheap 40mm PC case fans that will be donor motors. I will stick small mirrors on them and experiment. If this works, I will either have the laser on the front of the machine on the screen or, pointing out of a hole in the top shining on the ceiling. It's gonna look cool.

Ouch!

That's a pretty sweet idea! Make sure to buy quiet motors though.

oioi! had no idea your a fellow brit.
nice find with he drill man i really want one of them think im gonna have to keep my eyes open on the bay
looks like a very interesting project certainly time consuming, stripping it all down but then i guess it makes you close to your mod lol!
really looking foreword to how this is gonna turn out, so many possibilities with something like this because its so 'out of the norm'

[Ouch!]

More stripping today......

I centre punched all the rivets holding the aluminium frame together. Ready for drilling out the rivets.

Using my excellent new drill I drilled the rivets...

Then I freed the top and bottom frames

Making a start on the front panel I carefully removed all the knobs and labelled them before putting them away......

More later....I might actually get to be creative soon.

Ouch!
