Gold Works Machine Update

Hi Everyone, apologies for not blogging for a few weeks.

The M270 had its 6 monthly service and oil change two weeks ago and all was well with it (as you'd probably expect at this point in its life!). EOS are
coming in on the 7th April to provide refresher training for Ed and myself, it should only last for two days, but after that we will be running initial builds for practice and then we'll attempt Mariannes' project :-/.........Also finished is the tooling to assist with job removal from the build plates. I can now bin my hammer and chisel and jobs can be removed with the less brutal assistance from a horizontal band saw....still on the subject of your project Marianne, I'm going to run some of the smaller components of your watch on the Perfactory to see how they look.

The Roland Jewela now has a complete and functioning version of Artcam to run it and I will be attending a two day course in Sheffield for more training.......I've also got Magics training lined up too (oooh my head!!) so
I should be able to assist with any file fixing you may need.

As always contact me if you have any technical questions.

All the best.....Simon.
