sussex lad Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 After moaning to a American friend about getting fed up laying on the deck to zero/plink, he sent me some plans for shooting bench, so while at work this morning I turned one out on the CNC. Turned out quite well I think. Off to my permission tomorrow to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_R Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I do like the look of it, but with no way to level it, I guess it will not suit everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussex lad Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Sorry for not replying sooner i've been out with the family. Thanks for the positive replys guys however.... I can take no credit for the design, its off plans drawn by someone else...I have no idea who or where they have come from. I received a DWG file which through Alpha Cam I turned it into what came off the machine. It's a brilliant design, interchangeable left and right handed and comes apart for storage. There's a few tweek's I want to make on the next one, adjustable feet being something I was thinking about. I have a few to make for mates so as the design evolves i'll put some pictures up.

sussex lad Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) How long did it take on the CNC to make inc programming ? Do you do it for a living It took Saturday morning to write then test the programme. Nearly there, I have tweaked the design some more. First one of the finished design will get run tomorrow. Then I can start turning them out for a few friends that have shown interest. Edited April 27, 2015 by sussex lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussex lad Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Finally finished the bench today and I have to say I love it, wish I had made one years ago. I added adjustable feet and a gun rack to the design. May be persuaded to make a few to sell too if enough interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
