Well It's All His Fault

[jer]

I am still trying to see a "smaller" knee mill owned by the son, from out of state, of a friend that recently died. Also another friend died that had a machine shop in his garage, he had a BP clone, I'm trying to talk to his son too.

For the record, I didn't have to convince Lee to buy the machines. They convinced him themselves!! He has been over a few times and got to see them in person. All I did was remind him of the larger spindle bore on the 1127 than on the 1030.

You sir, are an Enabler! LOL

He will love them both, I know I would.

The lathe has been delivered & is in the building. More pix to come once it's cleaned up & on the work bench.

Well, I made some chips this afternoon - nothing in particular, just getting familiar with the machine & trying different tools, speeds, depth of cuts, etc.

Sounds like fun.

So, are you happy? Disappointed? Interested in your impressions so far.

Oh I'm thrilled with it, but I'm still a bit intimidated by it so I'm taking my time & getting used to the controls. Hopefully I can get a video put together on Sat.
