Building an Electronics Work Bench (and fixing an old CNC Lathe)


It is interesting to Watch Wes Work.  Recently I came across his YouTube channel when he described his effort to repair an old CNC machine.  Being the frequent beneficiary of Pete N6QW's $250,000 CNC machine, naturally I took a look (see below).  

I am really glad that Wes built a proper electronics work bench (above).  He has flux!  He has rosin core solder!   I just hope and pray that he is not using lead-free solder.  I admire his use of the 3D printer.  And he has some cool tools, especially that de-burring device.  He has a Rigol oscilloscope and he has a big collection of leads.  Is Wes a ham?  If not, he should be.  

Here is the CNC lathe video.
