Video Description
I spent 120+ hours restoring a 1996 Fadal VMC15, a compact vertical machining center (CNC) so that I can use it to make my knives! This machine features a full enclosure and a larger tool-changer than my previous machine, so it is a nice addition! The only problem: the machine had been used to machine Graphite for its entire life which meant that clean-up was a huge job! In this video I document the process of restoring and fixing the machine, as well as performing some upgrades! I also talk about why I would choose to restore an older machine rather than buying new... The main reason being that this option allowed me to save a LOT of money! If you'd like to follow more of my day-to-day progress you can follow me on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaron.gough/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goughcustom If you'd like more information about my knives you can check out my website! http://goughcustom.com/ If you have any questions or comments I always love to hear them! Thanks for watching! -Aaron
