    New 10" X 54" mill ordered.

    I'm not sure what kind of trailer your friend has but a drop deck trailer is the best way to move stuff like this. I rent them from sunbelt as I haven't found anywhere else that has them here, but because they squat down flat to the ground you can move top heavy things (like a mill) quite easily...

    Daily Shop Improvement

    Well I figured I'd add into this thread a couple things that I've done.. Not recently really but since I've done them I've found they really helped me. Personally I'm finding that the more I do to speed up my general fumbling around the shop, the more motivated and productive I am. I'm sure this...

    Electric panel questions.

    I'd agree with everyone else. In my shop it's exactly that, 200a in, 100 goes to the house. That leaves enough to have 6x 50a outlets and enough power to be milling or plasma cutting and have the compressor running. It's not a huge increase in cost to do it now, but doing it later would be a...

    Used CNC machine prices

    Not that I buy larger machines but from what I've seen the machines that are kind of an industry staple (vmcs up to 20hp, lathes about the same with 8 inch Chuck's) tend to depreciate slower. I'm sure there's a higher demand which massively adds to the value, and honestly in my opinion 50k for a...

    Cincinnati Cnc lathe update

    That sucks Tom, sorry to hear that. Unfortunately this is why so many of these things end up being scrap - pretty sad that a 2 dollar battery can magically make a machine worthless, mostly because the companies charge an insane amount for the programming if it gets lost. What exactly is the...

    Oil / Gas Field Pipe Off Cuts - Pellet Grill Project

    This looks like casing, there's a bigger chunk of what looks like conductor in there as well. Might work for what you're doing. Pipe ...

    Hillbilly Tool And Cutter Grinder

    It'd likely help you to go to a cylindrical wheel as opposed to a cup wheel.. more face to the wheel (same as d bit grinders use).

    Current Off Shore Order ETDs

    I can't even begin to explain how much I've ordered off aliexpress (and Alibaba for that matter) and have only had one very small, very cheap thing not show up. All the others that were out of timeframe I disputed and had a refund for, and generally EVENTUALLY the thing would show up. My recent...
