    Yes the resolution is a bit coarse - maybe its the youtube stability edit I select - do you use that?

    Cheers - my shop is only that clean in that new extension! - its all down hill from here!
    I am thinking I will have to move the other Tormach beside it and get really organised.

    I've heard the YouTube stabilization called "the machine bender". I think I'd rather watch shaking video than wobbly mills.

    Not sure, my camera is a Sony HDR-CX430 and does all the image stabilization itself, I just upload the vid and leave it.

    I record the vast majority of my machining videos with a tripod yet YouTube routinely tells me that the video "looks shaky" and offers to try to "fix" it. I guess the movement of the vises confuses it. I wonder if YouTube allows you to revert back to the original video.

    Optical stabilization is superior to digital, but it isn't a magic bullet.

    Thanks for that fellas - I am using a pretty basic camera currently - a Panasonic ADR-SW20. I will try it on XP and see if that helps.

    Hey Keen. Would you mind posting some pics of your control pendant. I just finished putting the Tormach enclosure on my machine and I'm looking for a way to mount the monitor, keyboard and mouse and I like what you have done.
    You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.

    Sure Steve.

    These pics were taken before the screen was added but should help. Next time I would attach the stand via the back or on a larger surface on the side as it is a little boarder line for rigidity where it is currently attached.

    because of the corner attachment it springs a little more than I would like when I use it.

    Please start a thread or post your stand when you have made it!
