Hi All,
My 2 Friends & Myself are definatley going, but we can only make it Thurs.
How could anyone miss out on a Freebie like this one, & it only appears every 2 years.

Hope all you guys have pre-registered on line before attending, it will you some time standing in the queue.

Ken

G'Day Ray and Phil,

I should be there on Tuesday around 11.30am and lunch sounds good to me.

As Ken say's, it can save you a lot of time on a busy day. Just fill that in, they will email you back a confirmation, with a bar code. Print that and take it with you. It gets you a walk up start.

Just be aware if you don't like spam. Anything you tick under #4 Product interest, will get passed on for marketing. I don't mind it, some guys hate it. You can opt out of that down the bottom. Under Privacy / Information.

You can also get a free 6 month subscription to manufacturers monthly magazine down at #7.

Regards Phil.

Have a great day guys. Take lots of pictures. I wont be making it as I'm a bit of an invalid for the next couple of days. Though I did have a great weekend away so its all good.

Hi Stuart,

Sorry you weren't there, it was well worth the time and effort. If you recover in time it's worth going...

I was impressed by the size of the boring bar in this monster Doosan CNC lathe..

I asked a passer by to step into the picture to give a sense of scale...

Going around the show looking at some very impressive machines with Phil, Jayson, Harty, Christian & Josh was good fun.

Regards
Ray

Did you have the big snip or some thing? Vacectony, there I said it. Appologies if you just had a bad flu.

I'd like to think we could discuss stuff like that. Probably in private.

Thanks for the photos Ray, any more?
That is one big long bar, I wonder how much flex it gets.

Dave

I'll probably go again on Thursday. Today was probably the quitest first day I've ever seen.

Marko is queued up for Thursday. I'm planning on G.Q being available, probably.

Hi Ray,
Thanks for the pics. Seems they let anyone in

Hi Phil,
No no nothing so dramatic. A weekend up near Rays with a little drinking and a lot of walking..... some of it being dragged along by my dog who thinks tracking is the second best thing in the world as he gets to go and I have to try and hold him back. Think water skiing on land with him as the boat . 22m of rope included. Killed my calves so I'm walking like a cowboy so I just looks like I've had the snip

Hi Dave,
I wouldn't have thought it would flex much but then how many Hp are backing it up? 15 or more? I guess maybe it could flex something that big. They should have chatter feedback on CNC.......... for all I know they do?
