I have pics of early runs hopefully they aren't too disappointing.

Those are the kind of pictures i like, failures included.
Green and purple ones are perfect, the others have some minor artefacts most probably due to parts not being cleaned properly. Am i in the ballpark ? :)
Thank you, much appreciated.

spot on .
I think one of the blems was because I was using aluminum flashing for the cathode material at the time
( I don't anymore ) and small bits of plastic from the protective coating would break off and stick to the part causing
small areas to not anodize. Hence the reason I use pump circulation combined with filtration to make sure
nothing is floating around in the tank.

I finally had some time to put to the cnc lathe conversion. I had to focus on improving and expanding my Anodizing line.
My problem for a while is I have ( not by choice ) multiple projects going and sometimes I have to focus almost all my
time on one of them because my employment necessitates it. Such is life.

I had purchased a small control computer to use instead of the Dell Optiplex 7010 originally intended for this project.
The computer that will now be used is a Dell Optiplex 9020 micro . If you are interested in test results see

I look forward to continuing this build and doing more video's of my progress with it. Sorry in advance for
Youtube's escalating greed in that they have now forced Ads on ALL video's on their platform. I no longer have the
ability to turn them off. Nor am I financially compensated by them. I am looking for an economical replacement ,but that's item 151
of a list of a thousand different thing I need to take care of.
