  • How do you like the Industrial Hobbies CNC mill ... it pretty accurate?

    Seems like a good deal at $10K seeing how it has a capacity similar to that of a turret mill.

  • I like it very well.  It is good to a thou, and capacity similar to a turret as you suggest.

  • LOL, notice when it really starts to cut I jump back a little!

  • The Z way cover is missing on the mill in the video. My IH mill Z way cover did not stay in place either. I replaced the thin plastic guides inside of the accordion cloth cover with ones made from 1/" in. alu. accurately made to fit the dovetails so they can't get out of alignment. I tapped them for screws to hold the cloth on. I used a dovetail cutter.

  • I like the IH CNC mill too. A bit of video of mine in use making a couple of robots for F.I.R.S.T. competitions can be seen at channel Team100Taylor. See Team100Taylor#p/u/61/MPib1hB0J­cs at 3:10 for example.

    I had many problems at first. The kit was bought from IH in 2007 when Aaron Moss owned the company. I think the new owners have improved the system.
