Well I've spent a bit more time "playing" today ............... Mrs CC's words, I feel it's more "Important Research" mi'self
![:thumbup:](https://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/happy0034.gif)
anyway, tried the mill out on ally, brass, steel, cast iron and even titanium .................. it just gets on with it; whereas you need to "Drive" the little X2 this one sets about removing metal like it's on a mission, I feel like a spare part ................ just there to twiddle dials and spray a bit of WD40 about

OK .............. I love it
![:bow:](https://madmodder.net/Smileys/default/anim_37.gif)
anyway, a question for you more experienced engineers out there ...................
On the X2 I have a locking pin to stop the quill rotating while I undo the draw bar to change tooling, there is no similar device on this mill, I've downloaded the Grizzly Manual and it says
"Keep one hand on the tool, loosen the adjustment hex nut, then completely unthread the drawbar"It just doesn't feel right, how do you tighten and loosen the ER collet chuck
