Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Tom, the graphics are a tool path simulation before actually turning on the spindle so I can check to see if there's any weird moves I've screwed up on while programming.
Steve, I bought the gear. I just wanted to dress it up to look like the 1:1 version. But that took 2hrs to do.Look at the picture in a previous post. I'm just trying to get moving on the boom. Soo much more design to do then get real good at silver soldering  I think I have all the metal needed now but I'll have to get about 200' of cable to reeve it up but before that's done I have to remove the "A" frame and machine the holes for the sheaves up there. It would be a miracle if the boom is finished.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Steve , in that 2 hrs , how much tool time and how much program time ? If the fund don't come in time then I'll be making everything for the hydros cept hose , fittings and seals . hydros put me back last year but not now with a mill in the shop even if it's a toy it still makes life easier . I looked at some of those booms on stripmine
I can see that taking some time and a few more grays on the chin  IHSteve

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
The program only took about 5min but getting in the old mill didn't work. I was trying to rotate the pie shape on the mill but it didn't work. Long story. After a couple trips back and forth to the computer I figured it out. Now that I think of it maybe 3hrs in all
 I took small cuts because I didn't have a good hold on the gear and if it got ######up I would be out some $$$ If it was held better I could hog that out in an hour. The 6 plates took about 50min.
