Hobby cnc 4th axis work

I changed the body on this torch from smooth to ...err... lumpy

Wow, looks like those bugs I see on my plants- scale insects
I assume "torch" meaning what we stateside call "flashlight"

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Yes, you might see it as a bug infested flashlight... XD

 

[markba633csi]

Did you build that light/torch? Looks cool

 

[pinkpanda3310]

Yeh I made the light a few years ago

I had another go at fine detail work. I think I can improve the finish by using a different strategy.

What do you think of the rotary? I've been thinking about getting one like that. Or building something.

I think a lot of these Chinese 4th axis set ups are frowned upon by people in the know. This one suits my purposes. I only cut soft metals with small radius ~ about 25mm diameter, just doing artsy decorative work. I haven't tried to do any precision with it.

So within this parameters I don't have any problems
