Hi Chris,

I haven't made much progress here either, just mucking around with the parts I've found already.

Looking forward to seeing one of these pindrives, should be cool.

I built a serious shed in my back yard years ago 20'x30' just as a work shop. I've just extended it out to 30'x30' since I was running out of storage space for all my junk.

The Mill was a big old pile of poo when I bought it. I spent months cleaning it up, fixing everything and I adapted a single phase motor to it. My friends into the same stuff are always saying "You can do a small job on a big mill but you cant do a big job on a small mill". The Mill is about 7' tall and weighs probably 1 1/2 tons. Ex-industrial 3 phase equipment is much cheaper than smaller single phase stuff as long as you have the room for it.

I spoke to the guys at race brakes a while back when I was enquiring about calipers and discs. They seem like good guys and happy to give advice.

Cheers
