Thanks Ted. Good to hear from another hobby machinist. I keep telling these guys its a fun and rewarding hobby.

Im looking forward to easier machining of curves and irregular shapes. It was always a real mental challenge to do some of them on a manual mill. The rotary table opened up a lot of possibilities but with a manual mill you are always working in one axis at a time.

I'll have to talk with you about tooling optios as the CNC mill is an R8 taper the same as the bridgeport. The manual mill is NT30 so I've got to get some new tooling.

Cheers
