Mornin'. 59.4°f Today I plan to take the TV from the bedroom and install it above the engraver soz' I can pass the time whilst' babysitting the laser. ( got to watch for fires so it can't be unattended). Then, I bought a new TV to go in the bedroom. Also have a little exhaust leak on the engraver, so I'm getting a little smoke in the garage. If I get all that done I'll spend the rest of the day cleaning the office. Gray outside and promises to be another rainy day, so inside stuff is goota' for today.
The letters are made of high density foam. Not very cheap, but goota' stuff.

It's the same stuff I made this plaque with on the laser. Scrap piece from cutting letters for a past job. Very versatile material.

A chuck rotary attachment is kind of a mini lathe with a stepper motor. It plugs into the "Y" axis and it's stepper motor turns the engraved object using the "Y" axis signal.

The roller rotary works the same way, but instead of putting the object in the chuck, you just set the object on the "WHEELZ"
Chuck rotary works goota' for things like bats. Roller rotary works goota' for things like bottles & glasses.
