Mills and others

[HotnCold]

my sentiments exactly Rene.... Tread Lightly on this one.....

[pinolelst]

I wondered why my cad question went unanswered for so long :005:
I've been lusting after a cnc taig mill for some months now but just haven't had the nads to pull the "buy now" trigger :026:
hard to tell by the tiny pic but a friend of mine has one similar I think from harbor freight and he tells me it's a good machine for doing small hobby related stuff.
I think you'd find cutting chassis out with it miles better than a hack saw,drill and files you're probably using now:002:

If you do a google search on that model # I bet you'll find user groups that will be willing to share any and all knowledge they have

Good Luck

I'm surprised to see this reaction.... ???

I think this kind of small-time deal, making a few parts for you and your buddies.... or even doing a $$ job for someone is not a big deal. I would be shocked if Mike took issue with this, even though this is his site, his business, etc.

Mike does nice CNC stuff... it's in a different league than a harbor freight lathe or mill. Besides... I think Mike has got all he can handle in the custom milled dept... at least right now anyway.

How many parts can a guy crank out on a simple hand mill?

I could be wrong... which is fine... cause it's not my business here. Makes me wonder about making a few extras of my basic conversion parts like I was going to do, so I could "hook up" a few guys who want to duplicate my cars.

Is that wrong here???? I hope it's not....

My thoughts exactly. I think there reaction was a little harsh.
