I took the little CNC Unimat lathe out to the meeting of the OVAR (Ottawa, Canada) informal railway modellers group last night. There's usually about 125 people that show up.
The CNC lathe was just running a turning program, no spindle going, (no swarf to throw around over other exhibits). Interesting the comments; did not matter the age of the questioner; some good interest. Of course, many of the attendees did not really comment; these people come from all walks of life, and I'm sure many of them have never seen a lathe in operation (but are most likely better HO scale modellers than I could ever be - everyone has their own strengths) Was looking for another Unimat headstock to put a stepper motor on, so I can go quickly from "splashing brass at 5,000 rpm" to "cutting cams at 1 rpm". We'll see what the grapevine turns up. Here's my blog, I'll probably update it this coming weekend again: http://cnc-for-model-engineers.blogspot.com John A.
