Hi guys,

thought I'd share my enthousiasm over the mighty FP2 and the pleasure I get from exploiting some of the well thought-out features it is loaded with!

Had to build this flange here:

So, after doing all the turning I mounted the work on the Reishauer indexing head (set for 8 divisions) and set everything up.
Used the vertical head to drill the holes in the top face. Then, when it came to the holes on the cylindrical face I just switched to horizontal and completed the task without interrupting the setup at all! Hooray to the FP2 and the long reach head!

Vertical:

Horizontal:

(please don't focus on the mess in the background!)

In this case accuracy is not that critical, and, also, time is not money for me since I don't live off machining. However, it's pure pleasure to be able to complete such a task in such an efficient way (and save some time which is always a good thing).

Well, you all knew about that, but I still had to share...

BR,
Thanos
