I think the jig took about 30 min machine time. Just a couple to design. Well worth it for future projects.

Finally around to putting some clothes on this chunk of metal!! Was able to take partsup to a friends that has a big blasting cabinet with glass bead material. Really made shortsork of paint prepping. Several days of painting , many parts and several light coats to get good coverage.

Wow man!!! I have not been on in a while due to connectivity issues and the fact that I got super pi**ed off trying to make hydraulic cylinders a few months ago. My old lathe loves to cut a taper when I don't want it to....... Loader is turning out amazing! I feel guilty about my Tormach setting idle so i'm ready to get back in the saddle! I also may or may have not just sent a deposit to Fumotec......What tool are you using to get the "diamond" type pattern on the base of the cab? some type of engraving tool I guess? And what is the smallest endmill you have ran in the 1100? The detail work and lack of fasteners have made for a stunning model!

Sorry about late response, only way I access the forum I s from my iPhone and it takes forever if at all to open pages.

Smallest end mill I’ve used so far was a 1/16 4flute. Ran good and still have it. Was cutting the details on cutting edge of bucket. Mild steel. I do take the time to adjust run out on small cutters.

As far as the deck pattern. I used a 1/8” 4flute 90 degree chamfer tool. I think I used a trace toolpath with -.025 stock to leave as a cam programming.

And if you are referring the the offset faces as the diamond pattern on the cab that was just a simple contour with stepover of .005 with a 3/16 ballmill.

I LOVE this picture lifting the RC4WD 870K wheeled loader. It really puts into perspective just how mammoth that behemoth of a machine really is!

thanks kp, I made one for a friend.

I finally got around to using a desktop computer because I has been almost impossible to access this site from my phone, let alone post any pics. so I am back at a learning curve again.











this is the project im working on now, making something useful. industrial sized soil screening plant.

Thats going to be a heck of a conveyor system. Are the roller supports 3D printed?

Yes they are printed in three pieces then glued together. The center roller shaft slips into place then the angled roller shafts lock it into place. Rollers are acetal plastic. Just using brass for roller shafts. The parts printed and shafts are very simple and cheep parts. So if they wear it's just a matter of pulling 4 m3 bolts and replacing the whole roller assembly. My plans (in my head) are to have the screen on a 5 degree angle with a hopper that has a short conveyor feeding the screen. Then all along belly of screen another conveyor transporting screened material under hopper to empty into another longer conveyor for spoil pile. Then the material that doesn't pass through screen empty to a conveyor to be piled. The hopper is going to be about 24" wide, wide enough for the haul truck to dump or two regular size dump trucks side by side. More of a quarry processing trommel verses a mobile setup.
