My partner (tile side of the house) bought this light a few months ago at Home Depot or Lowes (he cant recall which) we went to both to look for more. No luck! This is the final solution for jobsite lighting. It burns two flourescent bulbs that work great! The light is color corrected so you don't feel like you are in a dentist office. No glare. Amazing!



We want to purchase more of these gems…if any of you know where we can order more let me know! The picture above shows the light in the standby mode. I think they put the blue party light on for when you leave and come back at night. It makes a dim blue light. You simply pull the light out of the sleeve and wham instant awesome lighting.



The thing store compactly and even has a shoulder strap. It sucks to review a product and not be able to tell you where to get one.

I GIVE THIS PRODUCT 5 DIAMONDS (out of 5)

If you have specific questions post them in the forum and I will try to answer them.

Day 3 & 4 of training. We have continued drawing more and more complicated shapes. On day 4 we started training on the Wear Vector software. It tracks the actual bit size at it is consumed and compensates for the wear. We also learned how to do tool set up, management and testing.



On the fourth day, we actually started using the equipment. Woot Woot! after buring brain cells drawing, that was a blast.



We fired up the laser and started positioning the pods…the laser beam is not hard to see…it simply does not show up well in photos.





After the the pods are lined up and locked, we hit a switch and it tells you were to put the component. It shows where you line up the piece.



Then you hit the green start button..wow I am digging this…a machine has replaced a few employees…I don't think this thing will ever have a hangover or call in sick!





The image below shows the tool changer with the bullnose bits you can also see the vacuum manifold for the blick blocks



The Images below were taken on the end of day 3. It shows the progress on my cnc while we conducted training. They got the bed installed and tons of other minor things.









The next set of photos were taken on day 4 right before lunch…they are almost done. On friday (day 5) they are going to mill the table. The machine mills itself. The guys promised they would get me when they start milling so I could take some pics.









All of these photos were shot at the assembly plant which is where we do our training. Tommorow, Bob Alsup is going to take me to the main plant where all the welding and fabrication takes place. I will try to have day 5 online by monday.

Till next time,

Mark
