So spinning the ends of the press tool ... needs a pair of spindles that can take the end pressure, but wouldn't it just heat up the work? Not seeing any coolant in the video. Actually, a 'C' shaped arm with a pair of probes driven from a motor on the main body and an opening gap that can be controlled? With a router type table to move it around provided it's stiff enough ... not too difficult? Just need software to generate the profile ... which must be easier than the 3d printer code? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
