A little over five years ago, there was a fire in the building we were in. The end result being the relocation of my shop. Some shelves had to be dismantled and stored because there was no way to reassemble them the same way in the new shop.
What I needed was uprights, so being the enterprising idiot I am, I bought some angle iron.
Time passes.
In order to rescue the angle iron (a very useful thing ) from being consumed by other projects, I cut it into twelve tall and four short uprights and set them aside.
Time passes.
What is featured here is the culmination of a process that included; determination of the size and placement of the slots, and a stop to provide for accurate spacing of the slots. Programing the CNC was in there too, but only took about five minutes. One end of each upright was squared off and now all is ready to begin milling 76 slots!
Time passes.
Keeping in mind that in order to pay for the shop space I must use my machines for "paying" work and not have them tied up with personal projects, therefore I do not get back to this right away.
Eventually though I take the five or so hours and finish this step. Maneuvering five foot long pieces of angle iron can be tedious.
