That's looking mighty fine, Steve! The new camera seems to be a good improvement over the old. At least we can see what you are building now! So how long before you start mass producing these 990 loaders?

Wow. looks good Steve!
Guess has to talk to Santa already today, a new mill would be great.
Suggestion for moderators, with all those fantastic builds coming now built with CNC, maybee there should be a special headline for CNC tech/questions (under RC Tech section??)

Will follow this build closely!

IDK Nate , right now it's my escape from making truck parts who knows maybe down the road someday , as for cat , not sure , depends on them right now I'm building the machines for me .

thanks Reg . Dan cnc not easy as it seems I can't imagine starting on cnc machining without some manual machining experience

Looking good steve-Looks like you have that c-n-c stuff down pat. Since I am older I always think back to the days when machinist were doing this kind of work with manual machines before c-n-c was even thought about. Don't get me wrong,the work you are doing is fantastic but I now have a greater appreciation for the older machinist. Looking forward to seeing this model working.

Nice craftsmanship on the carrier and the whole project as well. I can't wait to see it moving dirt or rock.

Wow, love this groove for the big gear...
There's a good exemple of the difference between the new cnc users that can make "parts" and the real machinist in real control of the process...
Can't wait to see next steps

Default Re: 990 cat loader

thank you , guys

I've been dabling here and there on this trying to keep at it to finish

I made a few things agian in betwwen TRYING to get ppls stuff done . As for the cnc , there are days I just want to yank it out of the shop I miss REAL hand wheels

deck plate

should've been able to let this go for 3hrs and do somethin else , but no , had to brake the program up into 5 programs the program was more then the mill memory storage on the mill and for some freak reason the DNC link would not werk this time oh well it's done 1400 holes



oil tank

somethings are best done manually saves on extra werk notice welded up hole ( thanks to Smokin Joe for Tig ) I still need more practice





Pump from Vanisle thanks Richard the robbe valves come as a bolt together unit for multiple valves . I'm going to make a 1 peice base when I get a free moment in th VMC



I got so disgusted with the shop 1 evening and roughed in the cab



I got a DRO for my lathe a couple months back . So I thought over easter I could get it put on Well , I hope to finish it in the early morning tomorrow Ad be back at it learning how to think differently again

Steve, how did you ever become the machinist you are today? Was this something you did for a living, or just something you started playing around with, and self-taught yourself? Cause you're doing a fine job, and it's working for you.

Nate , CNC machining is self taught and is a long rough road manuel machining some of both started at age of 13 on 12 x 48 hendy lathe keeping the equipment running . My dad is a ME , so I got some basics from him . Mostly , understand how something is made and how a machine tool functions with an open mind with a can do attitude .I still want a good manual mill bad . I should add I'm an operator , I cut my teeth on a "60's" 310 case dozer started full time At age of 13 on a IH TD7E and still operate it to this day . We did our own repairs and attachment making . the 310 case is the only 1 to my knowledge with a 6 way blade

thanks Alfy

back to werk

Don't you hate long load times and with these old controls. Did you repeat incrementally? Rather than separate event. But you did have 1400 holes I guess that would take up some memory that needed broken down.

I broke it in segments (1 group of holes at a time ) the program was close to 200,000 megs or gigs IIRC . something that long I usually run it right off the floppy drive via DNC ( as the manual calls it ) it just been terminating part way through the program lately . could be the floppy drive . I guess I'm gona have to get that usb conversion the older mill I have to load it manually it use to have a tape reader that went bad . you know ,1 made from nonobtainium

Looking good Steve.

Research parametric programming (subroutines and loop calls) could probably do all them holes in a program a dozen lines of code long assuming your control can do subs, loops, and variables.

Looks like should be a fun toy soon.
