Hi all,

Finally, my milling maching arrived.  :D

Once I get around to getting it mounted, and leveled. I'll post pic of my newest toy.

Now, before I go and start any bad habits that I should not start,  lemme know any tips for a newbie??

George  :beer:

PS...where's the download button? I would need some plans for model steam engines.

George,

What David said..... Broken cutters and flying workpieces are  not a good thing!



Check your PM too for plan related stuff  :thumbup:

Hi George,
As soon as your finances allow, buy 3 digital scales, and mount them to your mill. And add also 2 remote readouts, especially the Y-axis will be just about impossible to read straight from the scale. I donīt think you will regret knowing where the quill is centered, to 0.01 mm / 0.0005".
Good luck with the mill, post many pictures  :wave:

Miner:
Tram the spindle to the table before you make even the first cut.
