Scuba1:
I stumbled over this place a while ago  and now its about time to get out of lurking status I thought. This is the bit that is going to sound like the first meeting at the AA  ( I think)  My name is Michael Max  and i have not owned a lathe or mill for 2 years, but am about to change that. ... see it sounds like the AA thing.
At the moment i am working in a company, that has all the things I need, but my boss has this strange idea, that I should spend my time  making money for the company and not just tinker about on my own quest. Even though he is quite happy about me just making machines and bits for them sort of at hock but i do refuse to them make drawings of the things I built. ( we do have a drawing office with the whole  iso 9001 thing ....( In other words the make the balls ups in line with the industry standards and then I bodge things together to make it work ) I do stick the little parts now and then in the photo copy thing and hand them in, but that is as far as i will go. Anyway I want to get myself another lathe and a table for the cross slide as I do make a few things for the air rifle target shooting brigade. Other then that, I just can't buy anything that I don't take to bits and try to improve. Yes I do live alone and don't have a missus that can nag me about a hoover that is spread about the place because i think that I can get a better performance out of the thing.

Scuba1:
Forgot to show you my current playground minus the dreaded CNC machines.

Welcome Michael  :beer:

Bernd:
Welcome to the collective.  :borg:

Can't believe you'd get and accuracy out of the mill setting on top of a pallet.  :scratch:

The mkill is not sitting on a pallet. It is mounted on metal plates that are in the concrete of the floor. The bit of wood that looks like a pallet is just to stand on. It keeps yer feet from getting cold, stops you from slipping about when the coolant is raining all over the place as well.
