Thread: Meet Tubot

Wonderful work, Rod.

Obott to Tubot (that was quite a journey).

You will be missed. Thanks for your insightful and generous contributions to the forum, over the years.

Thanks, Jason

This is outrageous Rod. I have just reread your previous messages on this thread and you state:

And yet here you are just wasting your 3,000th post telling us that you will be posting a video next weekend. How can we be expected to have faith in you when you can't even get a 3,000th post right?

Bob Willson

Ps.

Thanks Chris and Jason

I hope you do make it to Cairns Chris.

Jason it has been a long journey and we go back to our Sunday night email group before Greg convinced Ubeaut we had a place here. I think we have proved there is a strong interest in CNC in Australia with our build threads pulling in many thousands of views. I'll keep in touch.

Bob I would have been disappointed if somebody hadn't had a crack at me.
To be honest I had to push myself to finish this machine and now it is running I don't have an interest to do anything with it yet. If you like I can make a video of it doing nothing and include a Doris Day soundtrack - that will stir Sean up anyway.

Here you go

Very nice!! How much did this brilliant machine cost you in materials?

This is a keeper so it has the top shelf components on it. Didn't keep track of costs.

Rod

Very nicely done . Another great machine from you. One can only druel over such a fine specimen.

Mick

Thanks Mick,
Sorry must have missed you post.



Tubot is up for sale to anyone in Perth. Just too difficult and expensive to have it shipped over the other side.

Specs are in this thread so refer to previous posts.

This was going to be a keeper but I have another machine on the go and need the room. This is a Rolls Royce, built like a tank and would be suitable for production work. It is 700mm wide on the stand so will fit through a standard door.

Don't expect to get this for a Chinese price tag as it has top shelf components as well as a new Mini ITX computer and touchscreen, welded steel stand, console, air pump, 3 phase spindle, Gecko 540, smoothstepper, DC06, C10 and all cables are shielded. It has THK type square rails and not the Chinese round rails on ebay.

Send me a PM if interested.
