Placed a copy of this post here for anyone planning to and/or building a bat vehicle.
Here is the best book ever written on CNC programing/operating systems.
The lathe threading section in particular is extremely well written.
This book is written in easy to understand language and very well illustrated.
I bought the hardback copy because I like to make ink and highlighter marks and notations.
No other book covers CNC control setup in such practical detail. This unique reference from the author of the best-selling CNC Programming Handbook features nearly all of the activities a typical CNC operator performs on a daily basis. Starting with overall descriptions and in-depth explanations of various features, it goes much further and is sure to be a valuable resource for anyone involved in CNC.
Describes working with all types of offsets for milling and turning applications, interpretation of part programs, applying trial cuts, making program changes, and much more.
Places emphasis on troubleshooting many common problems that occur in CNC operations.
Presents suggested methods of correction, along with methods of prevention.

Hey Vertigo-
Glad to hear a good review of a CNC book... but unfortunately the image you posted isn't loading properly...
Your images from 11/12 seem to be fine, however... so is it possible for you to share the title/author of the book you found?
Thanks-
-Adam

Placed a copy of this post here for anyone, planning to and/or building a bat vehicle.
Business and travel demands have kept me away from my Tumbler and Justice League builds. Hope to be back to my builds sometime in late January or early February. Read an excellent book while traveling.
MACHINING for dummies by Kip Hanson
ISBN: 978—1-119-42613-4 copyright 2018
The book is a very well written, 300-page, progressive history/review/summary from past to present covering machine tools, simple and complex metalworking and other materials processes, CNC programming, G-code, computer software, robotics, etc.
I would describe it as the best tool and process summary I have read.
The material is relevant to the building of most parts and assemblies in today’s world.

What! No travel pix? Remember I showed you the tent they made me live in in the mountains?
I challenge you to photograph some nice batman-like locations on your travels and post them up in the Gotham Settings thread. http://www.chickslovethecar.com/board/Batmobile_Topic160862-4-1.aspx

Hey Vert-
Are you stateside? In your experience, what is the best cost/weight ratio for plate steel?
My CAD models are using a generic 10mm thick plate steel for all components (based on a MOEBIUS kit) but now that I'm getting into ordering supplies, I'm reworking my CAD models to be a more appropriate 5/16" thick (7.9375mm) but also wondering if 1/4" is going to suffice, which (I think) would make it possible to weld with 110v.
What is your opinion?
Thanks!

WAERZENGINEER (2/12/2020) Hey Vert-

I'm curious about this also. WAERZENGINEER, are you talking about the frame? Or for the body parts, firewall, etc?
11 gauge, which comes out to be about .12 inches, is common for 2" x 4" square tube custom car frames, but I'm guessing the Tumbler frame may require something a little thicker?
The will to act.

YES
"In your experience, what is the best cost/weight ratio for plate steel?"
That would depend on what part, etc. you are planning to build.
Cost to weight ratio for steel is relatively un-important for bat vehicle building as steel is fairly cheap for the amount used. If you were building projects such as building construction then the cost to weight ratio would be much more important.
What is important in Bat Vehicle building is the strength to weight ratio.
To also use common forms, such as, round, square, rectangular tubing, etc. rather than fabricating them from welded plates.
"My CAD models are using a generic 10mm thick plate steel for all components (based on a MOEBIUS kit) but now that I'm getting into ordering supplies, I'm reworking my CAD models to be a more appropriate 5/16" thick (7.9375mm) but also wondering if 1/4" is going to suffice, which (I think) would make it possible to weld with 110v."
What is your opinion?
110v MIG welders have a max steel thickness of 3/16" welding capability and that would be slow welding.
If used on 1/4" steel the welds would lack sufficient penetration. vertigo

Thanks for the info:
Sorry, I meant, "Cost to Weight" to say, is there a direct correlation between material thickness and cost, or are common sizes considerably cheaper (ie, 1/4", 3/8" vs. 5/16" or 17/64" ((for example)) ).
Thanks again-
