Default Re: First build ,cat D11

Thanks for the input. I wanted to make all of them by one operation at a time but,,,, one I did get board! Two, before I got too involved in the material I wanted to make a few of them and bolt them together just too make sure they will function properly. I have kept all the settings and numbers stored so precisely duplicating any operation at any stage would be able to be achieved. I may not be conventional in my approach as I don't have plans. Pretty much everything I do is planed in my head . No drawling or engineering print outs. Just the hard way, analog thought I guess you could say . I'm having a hard time locating the small hex head screws I have seen others build with. At least stateside (us) and still unsure of right angle drives. Before I start on the body I need to get the power train planned out. But in time, for now I need to locate some stainless m1.6 hex head screws or 1-72 hex head screws. Need about 500-600, tracks alone will take 320.
