My new Haas CNC mill!

Anything RC related?


P.S. I just ordered a 4 axis benchtop with my tax returns... not nearly as large and capable as your HAAS, but should make me some nice parts and work for a few projects I'm working on.

I've just been slowly setting up shop, mostly just waiting on some tooling to come in and for the technician to do the start up, but it should be up and running soon, probably a couple weeks, but little delays seem to pop up every week, lol. I'll let you guys know when I have it up and running.

What mill did you end up getting, a Taig? Or maybe Sherline?

I got the townlabs 4 axis with the brushless motor, R8 spindle, zero backlash servo's, and the 4 jaw chuck/ tail stock combo. Just less than $4K shipped. Should see it in about a 2 weeks. All steel and iron, no aluminum.

Going to try to build a mini lathe attachment with it LOL. I've always heard it said that you can build a lathe from a mill
