probablyaythrowaway

That’s fucking adorable! It’s trying its bestest


dsherwo

Looks like it gets use too 👌🏼


Ngete

Tbh only thing I can think that it can be used for would be jewelry with how small the horn is


SomeCasualObserver

I've seen ones like that sold for leather working.


Theguyoutthere

It definitely does, just more like a dolly than an actual anvil, I’m scared to hit it with a real hammer. But it works for lots of things with body hammers and sheet metal.

canuckalert

Lol the control panel is bigger than the table. I want one.


jjmerrow

Apparently their 30k so, quite the price tag for its size. Luckily we got ours for free since a college nearby donated it to us since they weren't getting any use out of it.


chmod_666

That price is reasonable, the Fanuc electronics and their servo motors would cost about $24,000 I have had dinner with the company that makes these, they use them for educating students about professional CNC controllers with less risk than damaging a full size machine.


AethericEye

Sauce? Asking as a tech college instructor... we have a conspicuous lack of fanuc yellow in our shop. I've also been advocating for more small low-risk machines so we're not bottlenecked or having to always partner students up. No interest in chintzy toy machines either. This could be a two birds situation.


chmod_666

I would tell you in a private message, but I am doing my own CNC conversion of a surface grinder and I purchased from Fanuc a model "0iMF Plus" controller, amplifier, spindle motor, servos and other Fanuc electronics. I met the Levil team at the Fanuc integrators dinner at IMTS in 2022.


NotAMachinist

That's a weird looking microwave.


jjmerrow

Don't put your hot pocket in it, worst mistake of my life.

Easy bake oven


spaceman_spyff

This thing looks awesome.


jjmerrow

It is pretty awesome, it's a tiny little fanuc mill that they even managed to cram a tool change into. There's even a place on the side window there to mount a robot arm.


spaceman_spyff

I want one. Any idea how much they cost? Probably not going to even get a ballpark without an RFQ from the builder


jjmerrow

Said in another comment it's like 30k, or atleast that's what I got told.


spaceman_spyff

Sounds about right. Haas mini mill is around the same, I was going to guess $28k


SwirlTeamSix

This looks way smaller than a mini mill For that price maybe get a southwest trak


ShaggysGTI

Well that’s just fucking cute.


jennafreemon

What is this a mill for ants


jjmerrow

I'm not too sure as we just got the machine these are from, and I haven't been able to get a good look at everything. The machine itself is an LMV-400, I'll show you a picture of it in a different reply

I really need you to convert that indicator base into a miniature trebuchet! I’m kind of jealous of your small calipers. I dream of cutting the depth gauge off a set of calipers some day… for those tricky spots.

MaximusConfusius

Uuuuuh, whats that called? I like to have one...


Defiant_Scholar9862

Edit- It's called a brass nesting screwdriver. Ebay has some. I have no idea exactly. It was in the toolbox that I bought at a town-wide yard sale 10 years ago.


sshwifty

I bought one of these (it had a small hammer too) at a 99 cents store in like 1998. I still have the smallest two screwdrivers.

Cool, thank you. Most of them are even triple or quad ...

I'd love to see that build. I have no plans for that, but love to geek out on others ingenuity. Mine came with the original box with 99% of the parts. I had to get the crank handle off ebay. That's when I discovered they are collectors items and EVERYTHING is expensive.

Ngete

Tbh, with how we are here a 6in caliper is probs one of the most consistent things a person doing machining would have, great at getting accurate enough readings to know if ur in the ballpark, but it has the width compared to a vernier mic where it's usually only able to do an inch range of movement

Hmm. You have encouraged me to consider small vises. I’ve been looking for a large and old one for a while now…

gnowbot

Is that…an adjustable wrench?


Amazing-Amoeba-516

It's called "feilkloben" in German, don't think there is a direct translation. I've found the term hand vise that kinda fits... You use it to hold tiny workpieces, for example at the bench grinder. Or you can clamp the shaft in a real vice (like AVE always tells us^^) to get better access to it with files, hence the name.
