In the past, when I needed to do some milling, I'd slap on the milling attachment I made for my lathe. All it could handle were very light cuts.
Fast forward to today, I got to try out some milling on the new mill, and was astonished by the difference. I imagine I had a grin from ear to ear.
The power feed is great, glad I added it, and the DRO is pretty darn nice also. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with the machine.
Changing R8 collets however is not fun. I think dealing with that may be one of my first projects for the mill.
Anyway, breaks over, time to go back to play, err.... I mean work.
