| Really, really beautiful weapon disk. Is it steel or aluminum? And you made it without CNC? How? (guessing a combo of lathe and bandsaw and some grinding? | |

| We have CNC, but a rotary table is on the plate for next year I think. There's just some things it can do that are too difficult any other way. Any recommendations of where to get one or which features to look for?
Again, beautiful work. | |

| i've seen some people do it, they just drill holes on the opposite side to balance it. i think this was well worth the effort though, as soon as i harden it it will hold up 10 times better then the crappy ti one did
ad yes very soon, i haven't gotten around to redesigning the bot yet but it will have the same size disc as the last version
and i haven't spun it yet but it feels pretty good | |
