Hello everybody:
This is my first post since I have registered as a member of CNC Zone because my English is very poor. Sorry.
I am a mechanic hobbyst and I live in Argentina (Buenos Aires city).
Because I am an electronic engineer, the mechanic is not my job, but I like it so much.
This is the reason because I have bought a 7x10 mini lathe and a mini mill.
I am learning how to use this machines and I am practicing with them.
Because I have read that the mini mill gear's breaks frequently, I have decided my first project will be to convert my mini mill gear's in a pulley-belt one.
I have made 2 pulleys with the mini lathe and all the mounting system for the motor.Then, I replace the mini mill spindle gear's with them. I can't believe how good it works.
My next project is to make a torch using Luxeon white power led's controled by mean of an electronic constant current circuit.
Thanks and good by.
Jorge
