Brilliant suggestion Glenn but I think I will pass on this one and leave it for someone else to do.

Hi Fellas,

Every time I throw something away (to make room) it's not long before I need it and then regret throwing it.
Perhaps a 'recycle bin' (on full pay) that gives us a second chance should be mandatory for all employers.

Hi Sam,

It's a solenoid operated air bleed valve which destroys the vacuum in the pick up nozzle to drop the part when required (the ROC-R pump runs continuously). The solenoid is powered from the spindle supply (via a transformer) and controlled by the M3 and M5 commands in the GCode program.

Silly really, but keep on Boogie Boogie Boogie.

Don't ask why - lets just say that I should not make any bets after downing a modicum or two of ale.

Looks like a well constructed machine, substantial enough to also operate with a spindle.
I wonder what it's final selling price will be ?.
