Making a scale RADIAL AIRCRAFT ENGINE! Episode 2 - first chips! | Zealandia.Systems

In this second episode of our series, we're making a mess on our brand new Discovery GR CNC router... in fact, the VERY FIRST PART made on the machine!
These videos showcase the capabilities of the Discovery GR as we tackle this intricate project.
Stay tuned for more episodes as we delve deeper into the functionalities of this powerful machine.

One word.... epic

[@craigsnowdon8322]

love it

[@jimid1983]

Wow!….. that thing rips! Hard to find an affordable cnc that tears into ally like that!
The things I could make😮

[@alistairduff8534]

Liking this so far. So why did the cutter break?

[@rtwpsom2]

I have some nice Rolls Royce Merlin CAD models for when you are ready to do one of those.

[@zealandia.systems]

Oohhh yes please!

[@skysurferuk]

As a retired CNC machinist, I'm frustrated at the amount of wasted movements in our hobby toolpaths.

[@zealandia.systems]

We're working on improving it :)

[@ronarmstrong835]

Are you familiar with how rotary valve systems work? Seems like it would help you if applied to an engine that has parts this small.

[@zealandia.systems]

Vaguely, pretty large amounts of timing gears if I recall correctly. However, we're enjoying the challenge!

6 hours... MDF machine surface been there tried it and replaced it, it you don't want to changes it put a 20mm thick steel plate, with a decent size under your tooling.... the weight will reduce the chatter and flex a little

[@zealandia.systems]

Thanks! Yeah we've built a steel table... will show it off in the next video
