Finally jumped in head first into the CNC milling game. Today was delivery day.
A little background, I started a hydraulic repair shop with my wife in 1978 on a shoestring budget in the back of my FIL sheet metal shop doing hydraulic jacks, cylinders, troubleshooting and road service work. In the forty odd years of toil and sweat equity we’ve worked our way up the food chain to a hustling bustling small 4 man (includes wife in office) shop complete with hose/tube fabrication, welding, machining cylinder parts and fittings, all complimenting our mainstream forte’ of cylinder valve and pump rebuilding.
Hoping this machine will be a good addition to our shop. Got a pretty good deal with some tooling, and the previous owner works down the street from our shop. Looking forward to getting some private tutoring once we get this guy put back together, air plumbed and wired. Shouldn’t be too bad of a learning curve as I have a CNC Fryer 21x60 lathe, and have been doing well with that conversational control. Something else to play with.
