    And it's here !!!!

    What a tool this is. Honest to god it was worth every single penny. The machine is so much better than the other one I had it is just not comparable !

    The only thing stopping me now is the clamps I had for my vice will no longer fit because the new machine T-slots are wider so they just won't clamp down. I'll need to buy a much bigger vice as well so nothing goes anywhere :)


    Here is the package I took delivery of before work: it was 175KG !! Nearly killed my self getting it into my garage !



    And this is its new home, my dad and I with a combined weight of around 34 stone jumped up and down on the table with no issues. If it can withstand 34 Stone I'm sure it can handle roughly 19 stone :)









    I will be accepting machining work as soon as I sort out a new vice.


    Please comment if you wish about some upgrades and what not :)

    Congrats on the new mill
    I have the next size up machine with the large table and find it does everything I need to do
    however one fault with mine was the gearbox selector between H and L had a detent which didnt fully engage the plastic gears so after a short time one had stripped all its teeth off. I fixed the detent after that but its still a good idea to make sure the knob is turned as far as it will go so making sure the gear is fully engaged.
    Mines still manual in operation but i've fitted motors to the z axis and a power drive to the x axis
