    I'm gonna be checking every inch of it as the pieces come out of the boxes. If something doesn't look kosher, it's going back. LOL

    School me on vertical mills,milling machines

    I've gone ahead and ordered the microlux R8 unit, and it should arrive by end of week. an extra 20% off on everything iced that cake. I'll be spending a bunch of time clearing out the garage to make adequate space for it. I probably should have gone with the non-dro LMS HiTotrque, 3990, but...

    That is the direction I'm leaning towards as well. Although my deceased friend's wife still had his sherline mill, lathe, and computer with all his jigs, tooling, 3d printer drawings and cnc router drawings....That may actually be what I end up with, since i could recoup the minimill,,errr...

    Now it becomes the decision on which R8 machine. The Microlux or the LMS. R8 offerings. The microlux optioned one has the feed, but the optioned LMS has DRO and an interlocked head. And to just get stupid, the reserve was just lifted on that Bridgeport here in Greensboro. That would be my...

    I've got a 2 car garage, that I should have room for a small machine. I dont think I would remotely come close to being able to utilize a large Bridgeport, although if the right one came along. LOL

    So, as the title implies, I'm debating on dropping down the rabbit hole of doing some machining. I mainly dabble with aluminum, plastic, delrin, and would like to get into some steel. I could spend some cash, and pick up a deceased friend's sherline mill, and probably his lathe too, Both...
