The day has finally arrived, the upgrades to the CNC mill made it!
- 5″ lift kit
- New Aluminum Z plate (The piece that goes up and down and router is connected to)
- New 80mm Mount bracket to match the Z plate
The reason for the upgrades is pretty simple. To make the mill bigger, stronger, and faster. By making use of a “lift” kit, we’ve increased the clearance by an additional 2 inches. For most, that’s not much but when you are carving wood that’s substantial. This means deeper cuts, higher ridges and more pronounced carvings.
The new Z Plate and mount, finally make it possible to connect up the water cooled 2.2 KW spindle. This plate and spindle installed makes the shop significantly quieter and overall mill is more powerful.
All in all, a great time in the Redemption Shop on my birthday weekend no less. The ladies are up stairs having a girls day, while I get to geek out and play around with the new toy. Here are a few test objects I made.
Kaleb does an awesome job! He made the most beautiful ax for me and took the care and time to ensure it was personalized just for me. He is a master of his craft!
I went to Kaleb with barely even and idea. He was able to take that limited information and create a customized anniversary gift for my husband. He walked me through the entire process and was so sweet to explain to me the technical stuff that I didn’t understand. He kept me I formed about each step, and went above and beyond anything I could have imagined.
