I Wish Some Of You New Guys Were Closer.

Maybe someone else here has some end mills they could donate. Let me know.

I just got a bin of mixed end mills on the weekend. I have not had a chance to sort them, but I bet I could find at least a couple in there to send along too. Bill, PM me with your address if you're interested.....no charge.

Most of the schools that still teach machining just teach CNC now.

Not so, I work at a CC running their machine shops, they still have manually operated machines. The 'kids' have a blast when I teach them how to run them, it is they running the machines not a computer. I could go on....

Quite some time ago I bought a HD camera for my laptop but then wifey bought me this here tablet that I fumble with. The camera hooks on your screen OR you could fabricate something to hold it where you want it. It's yours if you want it, pm me your address and I'll ship it out as soon as I can.

I live about an hour from you, if there is something you really want written maybe we can work something out, I usually have Friday off. I used to work at Stanley Works back in the 70's so I know New Britski a little. Like you something always needs doin' around here, I'm trying to make my yard a small organic type farm but the rocks are incredibly abundant, our Town flower is stone, we grow it for fun and profit. I have a '56 Chebby 3/4 ton pick-m-up I try to get to as often as possible...then there is my 8 y/o daughter that wants some of my time......

My phone is an old flip phone with no camera which will not be working soon unless I upgrade to a newer one. Also, Lately it seems like everything is suddenly in need of repair.

Bill, PM me the make/model of the phone you have and who your carrier is. I've got a drawer full from friends and acquaintances, might have a match to yours - possibly.
 
I'm glad some of the schools are still teaching manual machining. It is something that I think will always be needed.
 
middle.road,
I'm good with the phone I have. Something TommyD just said reminded me of something. Somewhere in this house there is a camera that hooks up to the laptop usb. Now I just need to find the thing and see if I can use it.
 
Hey Bill,
I just recently got transfered from disibility to straight SSI. I know where you are coming from. I don't know if it will help you, but I have a LMS (Sieg) milling attachment used once that I could give you. I have the MT3 3/8" end mill holder and drawbar to go with it also. I made the mounting plate from LMS drawings to move the attachment over for more travel also. I'll send it to you free if you can use it. I'll pay the shipping. You would need 3/8" shank end mills.
Maybe someone else here has some end mills they could donate. Let me know.

Ya know I just now noticed that offer. If I had seen it before I would have taken you up on it.
 
I coulkd use it as the small milling machine will be going back sometime soon.
 
Bill,
Let me know what you need in the way of end mills for that project, and I'll see if I can help.
 
Mike,
I have some end mills. Also have some slitting saws and T-slot cutters from when I used to work. Funny how so many things get into ones toolbbox from work. Kinda like an extra benefit .
