A run of custom keys chains for the music store where I work. My end stops haven’t worked since I got the machine, so I had to get creative in lining everything up run to run.
I decided to make an index alignment template by running a very low power cut on a masked piece of ply. Then lined the rounds up and engraved then that way.
Looking good and sharp

@Nick_Winnard we can work on that if your up to it, I have repaired a few!
@Nick_Winnard we should get together… I’m in Lanesborough!
@y2kvfr Right on up the road!
@donkjr Thanks so much for the link Don, I’m going to be pulling the frame out of the K40 at some point soon, and when I do, I’m sure I’ll be using your article to help track down the issue with the endstops
@Nick_Winnard ok its likely one of these things:
