I first started off in solidworks to designs the bead roller

Then it was off to Nathan's shop to cut them out on the CNC

Sick! I just picked one up (not nearly as beefy). Did you use the shafts/gears/etc from another one? BTW nice LOGO.

SolidWorks is the coolest isn't? I've had one semester of SD and am looking for an advanced class, but no luck. I guess I should just practice doing all the projects in the book.

Oh yea, nice bead roller.
