That is awesome!
You can make parts for only $25 (+$10Grand for the Tormach!)

If I were to make a video like that, my wife and kids would probably throw a net over me and call the men in white suits. In my shop, I screw around like that all the time (when it's safe of course) but, I just don't have the guts to video it....

I gotta agree with you there Sinebar... Nothing comes out of my manual mill or lathe for less than 50 bucks (unless it's something really simple). I'm setting up my 45-CNC mill in response to a job request that pays a couple grand per batch with a guaranteed 6 batches a year... Pretty simple part but can only be done w/CNC. Unit price is about $125 per part (unloaded cost).

Actually, I think the lens deserves an explanation. If I wanted to buy a lens assembly from my laser distributor the cost came to something like $560 + tax and S&H. But then I found I could buy just the lens on eBay, and from China, for about $23.00. The aluminum came from scrap pieces I had lying around, and the glue... Man, I don't even know how to account for that one. Micro cents?

Anyway, I just guesstimated at $25.00

Now, needless to say, it is not like I bought the Tormach so I could make the lens holder ;-)

BTW, now all I need to do is need about 400-800 lens assemblies and the machine will be... BAM!!! paid in for. No worries. With all the scientific advancements in life prolongation, this is becoming more and more doable!

Well, it is all relative! My family knows that if I ever become very serious and don't treat life in a jokingly manner, they should, at least, get me an MRI. Chances are there is a brain tumor messing up my "Class Clown" personality.

Darned bastard tumors...

Now I do admit that playing drums with a pair of TTS mounted end mills was 100% irresponsible. After I did it I was thinking I could have chopped off half my face, had Murphy decided to play one of his "bad luck acts" on me. Needless to say, I won't try that again. So the existing footage will have to do!
