  • fignoggle i once heard that if you have haters then your doing something right. i feel that the phrase applies here. ur ability makes Achisachis73 feel stupid and since he is seemingly so insecure he has to tell us all how seccessful he is so that he can feel good about himself. which shows how truely weak minded and pathetic he really is.

  • Great job! Sorry there are so many haters out there, keep it up. Real Americans enjoy anothers hunger for creativity. Although my generation seems to forget what this nation was founded by. Take a peek at my channel sometime, I hope to get to your level some day. For now smaller projects, more mechanical for now. Electro-mechanical is my goal.

  • Nice work, eps for a bench top conversion...

    And it is funny to see all the comments by the "would be" machinists on here... Def at least a few of you I wouldnt want anywhere nears the mills in my shop since you dont even understand why one would conventional mill vs climb milling.

  • @SynMonger it would for a finish pass

  • @high0nfire you could retrofit this machine with ball screws and eliminate the backlack issue... of course, it would mean more to invest but it would eliminate a lot of the associated issues with backlash such as part accuracy and the dreaded "grab and go" associated with climb milling on a machine with backlash... hell, when you put a prototrak on a bridgeport, ball screws are part of the retrofit package - and they work very well.

  • @nuthinbuttrubl89 I don't know that a mill from Harbor Freight is going to handle climb milling.

  • @nuthinbuttrubl89 you only want to climb mill if you have zero backlash. this is a converted manual machine (and a bench-top at that) so there's definitely backlash. but yeah on a real cnc machine you would want to climb mill. That's no disrespect to this machine, i'd love to have it!

  • i have 1 of those mills do have plans on how to convert that to cnc
