Looking good I built a twin engine Euclid scraper years ago, it was fun. Already asked did you buy the hydraulic pump or build it. I'm building my own pumps but having problems with driving motors present ones I use are 24 vdc gives me problems when trying to fit everything. Could you tell me what motor your pump uses as I am doing my 5th model a D11 and have a room problem

Thanks
Earl

This will be REALLY COOL to see it moving dirt!

Looks like you are using a CNC mill? What mill, did you do your own conversion ?

About the bottom of the pan, looks like a spiral in with an end mill? Would that have been better with fewer straight passes and a fly cutter or face mill, or is this a function due to the CNC operation? Please know I am NOT a machinist, just trying to add to my limited hobby skill set.

As someone else earlier in the thread stated, PLEASE finish this. It looks great now and will be fantastic with some dirt on it!

Jim

Hey Jim ...I am using a small Taig 6 inch y travel and 12 inch x travel .Most of everything was put together ..I still had to install the limit switches and set up the machine ..some days were pretty frustrating but have a good handle on it now .the spindle motor was not quite cutting it .. no pun intended ..lol so i found a Delta bench grinder motor thats has more balls ..working well for what I need to do with it ..
The spiral in the bowl bed was done with a program option ..just set it up and walk away ..probably take less time with a bigger bit bit my collets are quite small

Wow, Those hose covers and all the hose clamps turned out real nice Lou!!
The effort was worth it though as they sure look great holding all the hose in place.
The ones on the side arms turned out real nice too and you can't even tell they have four hoses inside them.
Let's try it out soon, before it gets too wet!!

I think you're gonna have to build two more Lou, one for Rob & another for Greg so you can push/pull loading together

You got all the G code now, wouldn't take long to duplicate, eh?

While im at it I may as well build a third and send one to you huh Joe I agree im sure we would use them lots ..even with the gcode it takes quite a bit to set up the material on this little mill ..sme of the peices I would replan the milling ..I am going to include some pics of my setup next post

WOW Lou I'm starting to think like Joe has a good idea. Maybe you should start your own company and go into production!! Now that you'r a proven master of the CNC thing it might be the way to go.
The oil tank and the shuttle screen are looking like they belong on the real machine, very fine detail. The paint is going to make it pop.
Hurry up and lets move some dirt!!!

Thanks Rob ..wouldnt take much to have this bad boy functional now ..a little more to do with the hydraulic system ..today I made an oil tank pics to follow ...I would like to keep working on finishing up some detail now that i am on a roll

Egronvold yes time well spent on the computer tho lol ...Alot time is trying to figure out how to plan to bolt everything together ..the great thing is having a drill cycle to use to predrill all the holes to where they are supposed to be
