I was lurking behind the scenes build an injection molding machine designed
by Vince Gingery. If you need a relatively simple machinme to do small run
injection molded parts then I would recommend building it. The book was from
www.lindsaybooks.com and cost $15.
The instructions are good. It required a lathe, a mill, a bandsaw, a welder,
an oxy-aceteleyne torch, a drill press.
The first part that I molded came out perfect.
I may design another one that is much simpler to build and provide the
injection heater housing which would be difficult to make without a lathe
capable of machining a 1-1/2X1X4 steel stock.
Next week the DRO boards should be done and after I assemble one to verify
everything works properly will make the boards available first to the people
that have allready ordered them then to any one else if there are any left.
I'll also check on making a complete kit available.
