Yesterday, I made my first chippings......  :D

I squared across the end of a piece of steel, using the full length of an 18mm endmill..... What a revelation!  :bugeye:

Sweet, smooth, quiet......  With the cutter directly in the snout, rather than ER32 holder, the head is much lower and more rigid.  :thumbup:

Very pleased with my new "GT" mini mill...... Thank you all, for your input.  :clap: :clap:

Great News David!   :thumbup:  Do you have a re-assembled w/tool mounted photo to go with it?  -Congratulations!

If you added all the working / planning / parts ordering time together how much time do you think you have invested?

That's not a fair question, Kenneth!  :bugeye:

Lets just say. Far too much, as far as Mrs Drillin is concerned!  :thumbup:
