A year and a half after the launch
of the Profiler milling machine, it’s
time for a brief look back on this
project. What can this machine do,
and what experience have
its users acquired with it?
We also want to mention a
few tips and helpful hints
here.
The Profiler projected initiated by Elektor in cooperation
with Colinbus in January 2007 has proven to be an overwhelming
success. At last there was an affordable milling
machine available that could handle diverse jobs. Unfortunately,
this machine proved to be more difficult to build
and use that some of its purchasers expected. This led to a
few unhappy users, especially in the early days. However,
most users went to work enthusiastically and managed to
produce true works of art with their Profiler within almost
no time, which they exhibited on websites and in Elektor
forums for the whole world to see.
In this article, we want to summarise the experience of the
past one and half years and discuss a few important aspects
of using milling machines in general and the Profiler
in particular.
