Doing this for a few hours is like spending an afternoon at the dentist, listening to cavities being filled....

Not a bad noise! :twisted:

I use a real dentist turbine for modelling. With its diamond tools it is wonderful for all kinds of free hand drilling and milling in near all kinds of material if necessary.......... and the noise is even better! :mrgreen:
kind regards

Elefant now shipping !

Post by Armortek »

On Friday we shipped our first Elefant kit to a customer in the UK ... despite Chris saying we would never get our first shipment out in Sept !! :D

4 boxes weighing a total of 94kg per kit.
Aiming to ship 4 kits a day for the next few weeks ... not sure the UPS man (or van) can cope with much more than that.
