The King (Koning) rules! Welcome back with that great job!

(I think you have some mix-up with sizes - maybe the falcon wingspan is 1100mm?)

Thank you, I am happy to be back, on the forum and at home, I have been working in Saudi for more than a year. I had to replace the waterpump for the spindel cooling, vacuum the spider webs from the control cabinet and it is all going forward-backwards and up/down.

There is a bad noise on the A drive stepper motor, will need to look into that. I will start with the upgrade-indexer.

Carved frame with lithophane

This is to show one of my latest projects that I completed using Aspire, This is a lithophane of Sophus Falck, he is the father and founder of the happy family that I am working for ... Falck
http://www.falck.com

The editing of the picture took some time, it was very grainy and not suited for a lithophanes, I received the picture of the ’R’ button on his uniform from Falck museum in Denmark as a sample text that I wanted to carve on the frame, I did not found a font to match the ‘R’ I decided to create my own font based on the ‘R’ so the font to carve the letters is all my work.
Top of the frame is carved REDNINGSKORPSET (rescue corps)
1) Material: bright white solid surface material, thickness 6mm max carve depth 5.33mm finish size 473mm x 293mm
2) 60 deg V bit http://www.cmtutensili.com/show_item...s=RB~7/8/958~2 no rough pass, direct finish path
3) Wood - beech light
4) Frame size 420mm x 604mm x 25mm
5) Rough pass 6mm ball end
6) Finish Pass 2mm ball end
Time spend on this project ---- way to much to be profitable
