Hi Rusty. Hard to beat the ceramics for finish ! bit of advice when looking for a mill, I've found that 40 taper tooling is the most plentiful in the second hand market and therefore the cheapest, the 40 taper toolholder for the new Iscar was £12.50. I know I've said it before but mass is everything when milling ! you can do small jobs with a large mill but not big jobs with a small mill ! and the day will come when you have a big job . Regards...Del...

How smooth is your bottom Tom !

@@machinenutdel6764 Let me ask my wife. 👍

Thanks for the input Camillo, how's the new shop coming along ?...Del..

​@@machinenutdel6764 it ain`t... currently i have everything planned out, but monetarily... well, i needn`t explain... For the moment i`m fixing my car in my yard, parked on concrete full slabs to rise it up... The last 8 months have been a rolling drama essentially in some regards, so shit is more stagnant than toilet water, but alas, things are bound to pick up some pace as time progresses... we`ll see what the tide brings... Once the land is consolidated and the paperwork is in order, i`ll start the 270 cubic meters excavation and i`ll start laying some prep for the foundation... Once the foundation is done, the rest is easy work... well, technically... Once the slab is cast and cured, the shop can be set-up as a steel frame, insulated construction, which can later easily be encased in brick and given the late 1800`s ``factory`` appearance, with the inside already having been fully decked out... The biggest part that i`m looking towards is the car and machines restoration section of the shop, as i am fucking sick of not being able to work on my vehicles properly(also, the lift acts as a double parking spot...) and i really want to start working on the machines that i have picked up for myself, as well as picking up a few machines to restore properly and sell to worthy operators... Just recently have i passed by a cnc surface/tool&cutter/cyl. grinder, essentially a true universal grinder, a relatively small machine(2.0 x 2.0 x 2.5m(WxLxH)) that was tossed out to the scrapyard... A marvelous little beast that was destroyed(i saved the head... i`m sick, i know...) but could have almost been sold ``as is`` by a sane person... A fucking shame that is... I know that it`s not really a hobby shop machine, but let`s be fucking real, i would have been willing to snag it for like 400$, spruce it up a bit, maybe scrape in the wear, put some turcite to restore the OEM design specs, and dish it out to a hobby machinist for a few grand... I mean, such a machine can be sold for 10K easily, it`s a workhorse that can run a small business all by itself in right hands, but it offers a hobbyist in a single ``large`` body what otherwise would require at least 2 large machines or even 3 independent machines... Being able to grind your tools, both round and any other shape, grind literally any cutter(gears, what not...), grind your gears after hardening, grind literally everything and anything that fits the table(2x longer(for rotary headstock setup) but as wide as a bridgeport table)... I mean, it`s an unorthodox hobby shop machine, but as said, it covers literally all grinding with automatic compensation for literally everything, that is if you know a bit of cnc... In my eyes that is the most perfect machine for almost every hobby machinist(outside the realm of watchmakers, boilermakers and similar)... Such a fucking sick machine, and it went to shredders... What a fucking shame, and all because i lack space atm... Anyway, you really shouldn`t have asked, as you can see - you prompted a torrent of madness being unleashed... Hope you are doing well at least, both in the shop and in general... Until next rant, i bid thee all the best!

@@camillosteuss I'm a bricklayer by trade retired now, wish I could help, keep the old pecker up my friend !...Del..

Looking forward to seeing your shaper in action !...Del..

Many thanks

That may have whetted your appetite for a mill, Rusty !😀😀😀 Cheers...Del..

Don't think I've seen your shaper in use Phil !

@@machinenutdel6764 thats why I am going to use it Del, apart from cutting a few keyways i havent used it for much else! Phil

Not a tool you use everyday Andre, but handy when you need it !...Del...

Let me know if you need chamfering Paul !

@@machinenutdel6764 🥵

Hi Phil, I do enjoy using the horizontal mill !...Del...

Cheers Paul

Morning Phil, up early lad !....Del..

@@machinenutdel6764 waiting to go back to sleep Del!

Hi Phil, I've reduced the shank on a few of the larger lathe tools I got in a job lot, only use the HSS with the shaper as the carbide tips don't like the shock on the return stoke !...Del...

How is your search for a milling machine going Rusty , any thoughts on what you might go for ?...Del...

If its a labour mp only one voted against that says it all

Thank you Rusty...Del.

Agreed, somebody would have been proud !...Del.

"Cool" now we've lost the winter fuel payment we''ll be bloody freezing !

@@machinenutdel6764 Starmers just keeping Farages seat warm!

Let me move it into the back room Phil and I'll have a go with your drills, Del...

One should never give in to blackmailers !
