I'm sure if you try harder, you can find an uglier one! The VM1 wasn't dirty enough? You know the way panels on this'n will be destroyed!! Note *name change aka wingdwolf56
Patrick Hathaway
An interesting machine - looks like an outdoor portable toilet! Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Wes I love bad (good) decisions!!! Keep on making them, they make great content and let me live vicariously through you!!!

Wes mate I got'a ask. How are you going to unload this one? If that is 1kg heavier than the last your poor forklift is going to haemorrhage and with the backhoe gone you've lost your anchor ... no, no,no the tow ball on a Rav4 won't do! :-)
GoatBreath
I have such a man-crush on you, Wes!
adorfer
sounds like the Cuda story of "aging wheels"
Darren B McLellan
I don't see a problem here.

Does Mrs Wes ever say when are you going to stop buying junk, My wife does. i have 3 drill presses, 1 works 2 are projects. It looks like all the buttons are there on the VM10 so you got that going for you.

What's more fun than one sketchy CNC machine? Two sketchy CNC machines! 😍

I'm going to show this to my wife. She gets annoyed when I bring home clapped out motorcycles. I now have evidence it could indeed be worse!
Watch Wes Work
Gonna need a bigger shop!
Vladik Marinovski
Can't wait to see that! I wish I wes there with you 💖
Jason Harner
VM1 -> VM10... By next week you'll have a VM1000
Watch Wes Work
Sure did!
Watch Wes Work
We'll never know.
Watch Wes Work
Might be both.
Watch Wes Work
We'll find an anchor!
Watch Wes Work
I thinking about a flame thrower, but steam cleaning might be a option.
Watch Wes Work
I know. I know...
Watch Wes Work
I mean that's pretty much every video!
Watch Wes Work
Yeah. I hate painting though, so it might stay ugly.
Watch Wes Work
Yeah they look pretty hashed.
Watch Wes Work
On paper it's a better machine. We'll see how it look under the protective oil coating.
Watch Wes Work
You are all correct!
Watch Wes Work
That's gonna take a lot of zip ties!
Watch Wes Work
It does run. That's all I know.
Watch Wes Work
I admit it!
Watch Wes Work
It's potentially a replacement. On paper this is a better machine.
tripletaco
Or the old "I bought something used which is little broken, so now I need to buy another 1 or 2 of the same in yet worse states of disrepair to source parts from".....the stripped out carcasses of subsequent parts machines laying around the shop/yard for eternity....My wife loves that one.
David Yates
So is this in addition to or a replacement / upgrade / side-grade for the VM1? And yes I know it's most likely an addition, but I have to give room for doubt :)
Chris Freemesser
Wes, the first step to dealing with your addiction is to admit that you have one ;)
Ian McKay
True, it's not pretty! Will it work? Does it work? What does it look like from your perspective, obviously you bought it, so it's not that bad! Look forward to you revealing it to us, in all it's gory, sorry meant glory!
David Dogruel
I guess that is one, albeit a hard way, to get a 6-axis machine.
Patrick Filion
Ah, the old "I bought something used but now found a better version of the same thing for the same price/cheaper so now I have to buy it too...". My wife loves that one...
Vadim
stop this addiction! It's not too late!
Vladik Marinovski
Oh my! It's a VM10 instead of the VM1 you already have!
Andrew Burton
Oh no! More way covers to renovate! ;-)
Darran
Sell the original and keep that one if its viable then? Hopefully it will clean up nice with the steam cleaner.
Fred Mott
I hate it when that happens!
Watch Wes Work
More tools, more Y and Z travel, windows operating system, USB, etc. On paper it's a lot better machine.
Kowyn Hibbert (Warrior of the Rusty Wrench)
Soon you'll have 10, it seems to happen that way with me at least.
Texas J
I guess you could sand it and paint it so it's slightly less ugly. lol
Chris M
On the plus side, you can renovate it into a tiny house when Mrs. WWW kicks you out.....
David Bird
Are you filming an episode of Antique Road Show in your Workshop?
John Lottes
Wes, I think you might have a condition. Unfortunately there is no cure and it highly contagious. Anyone seeing or hearing about your condition will be infested, and begin to suffer the same affliction. I know, I heard about an older engine lathe that a fellow railroaded who passed away had in his basement. SWMBO says no, but they're probably going to scrap it and I'll need one eventually (3-4 years).
Jon Nierenburg
She’s a beaut’ Clark.
Jon Koferl
my suggestion is to steam clean it in place before attempting to unload it....
Dan M
Why have one clapped out machine when you can have two for the price of one good one! The same logic applies in my shed :/
Ben Anderson
Looks like it’s got all its buttons and generous application of corrosion inhibitor. Forklift/ratchet strap round 2 assuming that case is still around!
Matt Londergan
Looks like R2D2 after he rose from the swamp in the empire strikes back.
Tom Hollowell
I believe there is a 12 step solution in your future. That or the hoarders film crew will roll in.
JosephCedar
Gonna need a bigger shop. I know the feeling.
David
Hmmm, now there's two must have been a transporter malfunction. But Spock, which one is the evil twin now?
TJ Miller
Good thing you added all those extra LVL beams in your storage area!
Noah
Love it Wes! Parts run took a turn eh?
Terry Kasprzyk
Perfect
Watch Wes Work
This one works!
Terry Kasprzyk
One that operates one for parts
Chris Jenkins
Why have one when you can have two for twice the price! 😉
Watch Wes Work
Robots spawning robots!
Robert Gibbons
Clapp on, clapp off? They're crappers?
Richard Pruen
On the plus side you can use that to make parts for the robot logging machine, like replace the winch and grab with a snow blower attachment, it already has a plow blade more or less. Put an outside window in your office and no need to go out in the cold to clear the snow. Make it autonomous and it can double as security, no one will try stealing anything with that yomping around the yard by itself!
Bill Rutherford
Ugly is as ugly does....and I think that one does...
Michael Belt
When one just isn't enough...
Phil Patrick
Nothing is more expensive than a cheap CNC machine!

WALL-E ??
Watch Wes Work
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Darran
Yeah they are lol. The vm10 has a faster spindle doesn't it? Same work envelope?
Nick Hough
The obvious solution to an old and clapped machine is to get another, old, and clapped out machine
Jamie Pilkey
I’m going to guess that a parts run for the original Hurco turned into a whole other Hurco. Bravo
Watch Wes Work
It's a parts machine that might be better than the main machine.
Watch Wes Work
Shouldn't have fed it after midnight.
Watch Wes Work
No. Mines are much cleaner and brighter.
Marco Lopes
OMG it's replicating.
Tony Publiski
Parts machine? Or do you now have a fallback? :) Redundancy for when one is broken!
Martin lewis
Oh goodness
Darran
Wow thats unreal. Was it used in a mine?
Richard Pruen
Watch wes’s robotic dodad factory work sub channel on the way?
Kaleb Tuinstra
...Only a mother could love! lol
Micah Bottomley
Here comes trouble, make it double! Nice patina on it
Craig Fetherling
That there’s a CNC Clark
Watch Wes Work
It runs!
Watch Wes Work
I was supposed to be buying parts. It escalated a bit..
James Riordan
It has that Star Wars look to it
Scott Finger
Taking in all the ratty strays and giving them a home. Congrats!
Darrell Hendrix
LOL 🤪
Darran
Lol are you getting it running or using it for spares?
David Gravereaux
Another one? Is this for parts?

If you have one may as well have two.....looks like alot of work ahead.

You did it!! Congratulations!

Another one?!
