I just bought this, for those guys that don,t know I run a small custom engine build shop, and with my mechanical engineering back ground and experiance I doubt ILL get too far off course, with the mill, but any hints or info about milling you guys want to add will be most helpful, your never in a position where you can,t learn more!
I looked for a used american made mill for several months but most I found locally were either well worn or abused , and in many cases rusted, and decades old, IM well aware its not a true production grade mill, but IM only doing mods on EFI intakes at this point, with the correct jigs I could probably have used a large drill press, for the minor stuff Im doing, but any info you gentelmen can provide will be helpful....btw I did get the coolant pumps, trays, and 6" vise also
