You'd only need a 3 axis machine which aren't as expensive as a GM 5 axis machine - though will shape betters at a quicker rate

If I won the lottery it would certainly be something I'd do - especially coming from my engineering background and interest in this field

John why don't you just ask Dan.

I see you follow him why not just ask him ??

It was more a question to see what people thought on here really to what it was. Just got me thinking as the toe curved a lot and I hadn't seen that before with copy lathe stuff. Nothing against it. I suppose anything you can do to take a little of the hard work out of making x number of bats a day then why not.

surely you need more than just the cnc machine? or is 400k for the machine and all the cpu, design stuff you'd need as well?? 400k isn't that much if you can literally churn out thousands of bats :)

No that's just for machine plus basic software and maybe tooling if your very lucky

All the programmes etc to do bats would need to be written

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

so probably double that by the time you've kitted it out to literally take a cleft and shape it perfectly etc

Not really double as depends on tooling you buy and what cnc as most basic software packages could do a bat just need someone decent to teach you to programme which is around £300-£600 a day depending on who and what software

If you have a 3d design program ie AutoCad then that can be transferred into the CNC machine - not as easy as that but that's the theory behind it

Auto cad easiest way but not hard to write code either

Once you have programme easy to tweak

Just to confirm this wasn't a dig at chase, it was merely something that got me wondering what they had used to make that shape.  Removing some of the donkey work isn't a bad thing
