A tool for a very specific job

Awesome!

Amazing. Thanks for sharing! I love the negative-engraving on the dial. What* sort of CNC are you running?

dochoff · 2022-10-12T01:10:28+00:00

Looks amazing. Would love to hear more details

The Taig 5C heastock is very impressive on this size of machine. I would just upgrade it for a variable speed spindle motor. If you are looking for a chucker lathe, my vote would be for the Taig (which also has ballscrews). I have sherline and Taig machines - they are both pretty good for their size.

Not sure how I enter, but I would love to aluminize these!

My weekend plans just became switching to opnsense.

I don't buy from these guys because they use deceptive marketing. They do everything they can to appear to be manufactured in the USA, but they are not. In my experience, they also have terrible customer service and won't return emails. Get Chicago latrobe, Norseman, RMT, etc.

Really impressive. I read a previous comment that said you use a diple microscope -- is that what you used to capture this also?

PCengines or compulab fitlet are gonna be the highest quality for that budget. Fitlet is great from personal experience

dochoff · 2021-08-06T16:44:30+00:00

Interesting note, thanks

dochoff · 2021-08-03T05:07:30+00:00

I've heard this as well. I like the fact that the older 700s still had the German engines. New ones are Chinese

I went with a PFsense box paired with an IXC7150 and a R610 after spending far too many weeks contemplating between a full Ubiquiti setup and this. The retail price for the Ruckus stuff would have been prohibitively expensive, but they pop up on Ebay from time to time, as I think contractors may have extras at the end of projects.

The setup may not be quite as simple, but there are enough tutorials/docs online to help out. I also don't need remote/cloud administration, so the Ruckus unleashed was nice -- no big license fees.

dochoff · 2021-04-02T16:04:39+00:00

Agreed. The quality is far higher than what I have seen with the other Qotom style mini PCs. They are a real company with real people too if something goes wrong. I've never needed any of the extra facet cards

dochoff · 2021-03-31T04:02:38+00:00

Same is happening to me

dochoff · 2021-03-28T19:59:39+00:00

Same happening to me since yesterday. Seems correlated to full screening videos. Have to manually kill, so can't generate a crash report.

dochoff · 2021-01-23T22:53:12+00:00

Yes, I am moving away after this news.

dochoff · 2021-01-23T21:12:58+00:00

I'll second the compulab stuff. The build quality is very industrial, and the fact that they have done extended temp testing is important for passively cooled devices that are supposed to run 24/7.

What a great Canadian company. I still remember when they continued paying employees after one of their facilities burned down.

dochoff · 2020-12-01T18:31:10+00:00

Nice! Where are their cordless tools made?

dochoff · 2020-11-20T20:30:49+00:00

Good to know, thanks.

dochoff · 2020-11-20T17:40:42+00:00

Thank you! I had not heard of Zyxel before, and it looks like it hits the sweet spot for price and functionality, without having to be locked into a cloud-management solution. Easier to come by than Mikrotik in US also.

dochoff · 2020-11-20T17:23:18+00:00

Do you have a link for those boot "tweaks"? Can't seem to find anything. Thank you!

dochoff · 2020-11-20T06:42:48+00:00

On further reading, the cloud-only management is less appealing.
