From the look of the fenders, cowl lights, hood, and radiator, I would say that it's a 1915 model year.

Getting closer…

A new CNC machine tool. Thumbs Up.

And closer…

A new Haas.

There goes the shop space................... suppose it was going to happen at some point.

I cannot wait for my billet aluminum T block. LOL

And closer…

Still room for the T’s too

Congrats Kevin!

Conduit and wire are in! Working on air now…

Millzilla is looking a little spindly. I’m glad you finally got your machine, it took forever.

For those of us who aren't familiar, what will this machine be doing?

It’s alive! Still some work to do leveling, squaring, and calibrating… but that’s gonna have to wait till tomorrow.
This machine will do just about anything. It’s got the typical X/Y/Z linear axis, and also a table that is a built in tilting rotary B/C axis. It will simplify and automate the manufacturing process of my current T related products, and hoping to expand into more complex creations.

" Inquiring Minds Want to know ". Is it closer to a 3D printer, or a CNC controlled mill- lathe- whatever?

Oh, OK … I thought it was one of those newly popular garage saunas….

Now when he turns it on all the neighbors' lights dim !

Winner-winner; Chicken Dinner. Your post takes first place. And I was thinking it was one of those in garage storm shelters like people living in tornado alley use.

and here i thought i was doing really good when Saia motor freight brought my tire machine and balancer a couple weeks ago,

Got er all squared and aligned this morning, so threw in an old vice and ran the first cut. Project #1 is a hub nut wrench for a #4 Houk wire wheel. Not just any hub nut, but a Veeder odometer hub nut that I will be recreating from an original blueprint later

Kevin, Whats the horizontal gizmo on the far right?

That’s a CNC lathe Jeffrey. Makes roundish stuff.

Kevin:

Kevin,
I'm absolutely green with envy. Congratulations.
Craig.
