Treated myself for Xmas

[mfletch]

Got myself a new mill I know its not a Bridgeport but am not very well so didn't want to start fixing a large Bridgeport

Already fitted a DRO and also got the table power feed but not fitted it yet

Merry Christmas all.

Dro on all 3 axis'? (Xyz) nice.

 

[Shox Dr]

Shiny, nice one fella. Let us know how you get on.

 

[mfletch]

Thanks guys

Already had to use it on new tooling, the R8 arbours that come from Warco and other suppliers the locating groove is not long enough they hit the small locating peg in the quill so you have to mill about 6mm out and they hardened so had to go steady

Very tidy, that should provide hours of entertainment. I picked up a secondhand Warco VMC a couple of weeks ago, still sitting in three sections in my garage but plan is to get it up and running in the next week.

Have you a particular project for yours?
