Well, i finally moved up in the world and picked up a "real" mill to add to my home shop......2200+lbs of cold steel/iron (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
I had gotten out bid by hundreds of dollars and at the last minute, the highest bidder retracted his bid and I won it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The mill looks perfect (not at home yet, I inspected it at the shop), the biggest challange will be figureing out how to use the darn thing since it has no provisions to manually move any of the axis and the CNC controller is pretty ancient...... I'll also have to convert the main spindle motor from 3 phase to 2 phase or use a static or rotary converter........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) My workshop pad should be going in this weekend, originally I was only going to pour it 4" thick, now i think I'll make it 6" thick with more rebar......... |
