Probably not what you're thinking... But now that we are buying a much larger 30taper CNC mill I need to take a hard look at selling off my first born! The "CNC Hobby Mill" My used 3:1 that I put so much rebuilding into. It's perfect finally.. repeatable, great as a fast manual mill for light stuff. And like one of my Kin. (kidding... but serious right!) Ya'll know the drill I'm sure.
I think it can serve some roles and I do not want to rush into letting it go as yet. But I really need to consider the $$ it represents sitting there. The Shaper we are still experimenting with but what a FUN machine!
So... . Can ya'll tell me why I need to keep it all? Maybe some local mentoring ? I know I'm hearing a lot of snips that good manual machinists are needed again? I teach College courses part time and keep getting this idea to have a Sat 4hr thing maybe a few times a month for interested community folks. Just some random thoughts this morning.
PS- Wow... How you guy's have shown and helped the Son and Myself. Would not be doing so well w/o all of you here in the HM world! Pats on the back for ya'll!
Pics of the Kids.... Yes, they all resemble Dad! (sniff.... )
