Daryk Campbell Sr Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 I tried to order another one, but those prices shown are for the tool kits or replacement parts. Sorry, seems to be some bait and switchtype advertising. They are still very cheap prices, and may interest someone. I haven't used mine yet but expect to have an honest review and opinion in a week or 2. I plan to turn a few micro bobbers, and maybe a topwater bait or two. Along with a more uniform micro rod.

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted May 21, 2023 Posted May 21, 2023 Here is my latest creation. I have not fished it yet, maybe tomorrow evening. It is made from bamboo skewers, and cheap craft corks. The couplers are bamboo steaks to tie on plants to keep them growing straight. I wrapped the couplers with thread and used uv resin to strengthen them.

Mitch f Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 My first 2 machines I ran were a Hardinge Lathe and a Bridgeport mill. I now have a high end smaller CNC mill. I use it to machine prototype molds for my lure business. It features a granite machine base as opposed to a regular steel base. This helps dampen vibration and protects from temperature changes. Also a closed looped glass scale system that overrides ball screw readings which makes it more accurate. A 30K rpm high speed German spindle (Jaeger) that can use end mills as small as .01” diameter. Those small cutters are used to cut the fine details of my baits. I also have a 4th axis that helps eliminate multiple set ups due to requiring undercutting. I use Fusion 360 for the tool path…with a Fanuc post processor. nomolites, Daryk Campbell Sr, BilletHead and 1 other 4 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
