I did some milling today and the part was such that I needed to put on my BP clone mill which is belt drive instead of my PM 833T Gear head Mill. The clone is 3hp 3 phase with VFD. The PM 833T is a 2 hp single phase. I could not believe how much smoother, and Quiter the BP Clone was over the Gear Head. And the end mill sliced through the steel like a hot knife thru butter. I also need to drill a couple holes in the plate so for fun I used the Antique Camelback drill press. Same thing drilling the hole. Quite like a mouse and the torque of an Oxen. Sometimes it is worth taking time to enjoy the work.
