RC India

I received the HK 6 in 1 on last Friday - bought it from Sultan Alam of Bhubhaneshwar.

Opened the box on Sunday and looked over the parts, and instructions.

Monday I had an impacted wisdom tooth extracted  :violent: and on Wednesday evening finally got down to assemble.

Some parts were loose/broken; luckily nothing serious :D

Started with motor/gearbox & Jig Saw

Jig Saw ready. The instructions....well, for me they were Chinese!  :rofl:

But as Confucius says, "A picture is worth a thousand words!"  ;)

After that I figured the best thing to do was to jump to the last assembly, the Horizontal Milling m/c; it really encompasses all the rest, and after that the other m/c's are just moving sub-assemblies around

Some comments:

1. This is a fun little m/c

2. I don't think it can be used for any serious machining work  :giggle:

3. The build and design are quite ingenious; the Chinese have copied it from Germany's Unimat

4. The machine rigidity leaves much to be desired: the slides will wear loose very fast!

5. There is a fair amount of "give" in the new machine, leading to tool deflection with a subsequent loss of accuracy

Thank you Sir, this thread will prove to be my Bible when mine arrives from Adiboy.

VC, this was hardly a build log, just a sort of review

Sanjay sir unable to view the images...  :'(

Arun, even I can't! I wonder what the problem is? VC boss, were they there when you checked?

Maybe some problem with Dropbox

Now they are showing. Hope they don't vanish again ???. Anyone proficient with dropbox?

Can't see nothing Sir.

This is what I see: :banghead:

 ??? ??? ???

I can :violent:

Need some  :help:

Have you been able to build anything using it...??

I own an all metal version but the power is too low!!

I sold it  ;D

Wise decision!! :salute:

@sanjayrai55,
Don't know who you sold it to, but one of our mutual friends sold me one. (Same one?)
Eternally grateful that he charged me only 50%
Considering that i have since had to give it away for free.

And all i wanted to make was a prop balancer and a spinner nut, in balsa if not aluminium!

The point is were you able to make one?? Anything?? :banghead:

Nope, speaking on behalf of K.K.Sir and Sanjay Ray Sahib. We all felt it prudent to get rid of it the moment it arrived. In my case, PLine (I think) bought it off me.

My first ever online purchase (other than tickets) and the seller (who bought it for a brother in law who meanwhile got posted abroad etc) regretfully forgot who he sold it to...

Must get it back from Ahmed, son of old time aeromodeller the late Sqr Ldr Tariq Ali, and send it to Rai saheb, where it really belongs, and with whom it may rest in peace (or pieces)

Edit: i remember Adiboy trying to sell it to me for about Rs 11,000...
Small world, what!
Maybe we should involve Saikat sir too. I fear Gusty sir and Sundaram sir are too savvy to fall for it...

Iyer Sir, don't do that. Rai Sahib will be really 'pissed' off with it. Peace. Just my two pice bits.................... :giggle:

Iyer sir,

The MF in Q never bought it from me  ;D

Of course, the Giving Away was A Noble Act  :rofl:

 :) Good riddance. One can rest in peace with some sacrifices  :P . (Or may be by shifting the head aches on to others' heads  :giggle:). I deferred ordering one  ;D .

Wish I could do that with mine, unfortunately have modified it beyond recognition !
