If your photo hosting site allows video, I think you copy the vids share link, in your post box, click on 2nd button from right at top, paste the link between the brackets reading flash video. Then post. Ive only ever done it via the tube. FLASH_VIDEO....FLASH_VIDEO these will be bracketed so link gets pasted where I put the 4 periods. Best I got XLT.

I've started to do that by hand with a router.

Maybe this post.

Pretty cool Ray. Are your tool holders Cat 40? Curious because I've worked on several Komo routers and the T holders were near toy like. Giant vaccume tables milling machine track from 3" thick black poly. The F'n schroud would load up fast and I had to push broom 1 1/2 feet deep plastic chips up into vac tubes to be sucked outdoors. What a giant size mess poly can make. The accuracy of those big Komos was horrible. Your logo came out very nice.

I’ve got two Komo kts routers and they hold tolerance very well. I can hold a +\- .005 with UHMW and that’s only due to how dimensionally unstable UHMW is. I’ve made some very intricate parts for a rather large coffee company on them out of PEEK and could hold +\- .002, sure I could do better on one of the mills but that’s pretty darn good for a router.

David The tool holders are Hsk 63 f with an Er 40 chuck probably similar to a cat 40 just for wood working. I have machined uhmw and several other plastics with it including some that was 2.5 inches think made from a very strong material used for outrigger pads on a 250 ton crane, these pads where 3 feet in diameter and left a huge pile of waste that I still find in the machine and shop floor.

check out my other videos on youtube of the bullet feeder I machined on the cnc.

Very nice reminds me of my days in the engraving shop in DOD. Had Dalhlgren engravers and also sometimes created logos and let my machine shop do them on Hass mills.
Excellent work. Programing was fun.

Pretty cool. Liked, commented and subscribed.

Why is there a bit of the shielding hairs tied up in a ponytail on the router?

There is a light beam that runs from the tool holder carousel that checks to see if there is a tool in the router spindle, (you can see the red light in the video) the shielding hairs some times blocks that beam and causes the router to throw error codes and sit there and wait for me to fix it, I got tired of it and did a little work around. not pretty but it works. with a cnc it only takes one small thing to throw a monkey wrench into the whole system.

Ah peek. I've machined a bit for back operations to the spine. EC400 HAAS horizontal. Man those steel tools which run down inside the tubes made from peek are something freaky and I hope to never have them used on my back. Thank you but no.
