Some chips flew on the weekend.. Hooray!
I actually made something useful rather than just machining random shapes. In the pursuit of learning to drive this thing I set myself an exercise to create a part that would have been difficult to do on the old mill and that used many of the programming functions of the new CNC one.
I machined up some tool holder racks to help organize the Mill tooling. Anyone who has been to my shed would know I'm not good at cleaning up after myself so I figure a bit of organization couldn't hurt. It may not be a very exciting part but it was fun to work out and will come in handy.
Anyone interested in seeing the mill in action and hear me drone on about it can check out the video uploaded to YouTube.
