Stone against stone ground surfaces. The grains are flattened, not broken out.

Yes!
The power feed build has been completed. I just need to look for a nice print for the front panel. Works great!
The video is coming soon.

With the rack and pinion for the Andonstar finale still days away, I started a new project.
Busy now building a power feed for my Proxxon FF500/BL milling machine.
The intention is that I can provide the X-axis with 5 or 6 well defined feed rates.
No gears, no clutch, no ugly motors from a car, no Arduino computer. Just a small metal box on my mill, an on/off switch, a reversing switch, and a rotary speed switch.
But despite this simplicity, it must have a higher usability than the wiper motor solutions that you see more often on YouTube. A stepper motor and driver and some small modifications at the bed of the FF500 should do the trick I hope.
And it should also look more elegant than the wiper motor solution shown!

Here's the Vickers to Rockwell C conversion chart I use.
Also a screenshot of the Excel sheet in which I calculate the hardness in Vickers. And an approximation formula to convert Vickers in Rockwell within 1% precision.

Maxed out my lathe to turn a steel canister, heated up my oven.
Case hardening goes well and has a few surprises in store.

The hardness calibers have arrived. That's going well!
Meanwhile, I'm annoyed by a broken single flute bit that ruined my beautiful measuring screen.
Start the case hardening experiment in two days.
Yes I can read Chinese! (after OCR and on-line translation that is..)

Create something new, different, preferably out-of-the-box, from thought to product and making simple videos of that process is great fun. Hopefully it inspires you and adds to your joy in creating. If you like my videos, please subscribe to this channel and leave a message in the comments, that motivates me to go on.
By the way, you don't hear my voice. I am Dutch, and think my English pronunciation is lousy. And how crappier the pronunciation, how funnier but less helpful the auto generated subtitles get 😉. I don't think you want me to add to that misery. So I bribed Brian with some hot electrons, and now I can borrow his synthetic voice. In time his voice will get better as the AI evolves.
