Coming along Nicley Ari ..Your attention to detai is awsome ..Pretty much giving it your own signature with all the little changes ,extras and add ons ..When your milling out the smaller holes can you pretty much cut through the thinner guage material or do you have to make multi passes with those fine bits..Feed rates make a difference as well? Thanks Ari and Nice work

With those smaller bits I like to take several small passes with a higher feed rate.

Today I managed to make the upper cooler grill

Thanks Reg, I hoping to get the hydraulics up and running in few weeks, just missing filters and the tank.
I'm anxious to see how my cylinder will hold the pressure
To be honest there's still a lot to do, and it always seems to get harder and harder towards the end.

Here's the lower grill

awesome job so far Ari . Question, did you order your internal gear online ? The site states they only except online payments from the UK . And of course , the 1's I need are not in stock .

Yes I did. They will send you a invoice to your email and you must pay that in advance.
It's simple to do in Europe when using those IBAN and BIC numbers but I don't know if are you able to use them when paying from outside EU.

OK I'll try them again . worst case I cut them myself . I already have it programmed . It's just a good couple hours to cut in the mill in steel .
