Milltronics VK4 CNC mill. The absolute best option a hobbyist machinist could have in their garage. Cross between a Bridgeport and a VMC. Easy to use conversational programming, and a wide open space around the table.
@lukas_m_ziegler The machines are quite impressive but this is for an operation of decent scale. This type of machine will not be used in the majority of American shops at least cause most are a small crew with a few machines
@KevO4188 My tx22 comp has yet to fail me. Took a good 250 rounds to break in. Since have had less than 5 malfunctions across a few thousand rounds. The comp has little better internals than the standard
@DabsMalone I've been really impressed with the renishaw printers they showed some parts off at a show I went to and they were by far the nicest 3d prints I'd ever seen
So is all the awesome news lately like immigration fraud crackdown story ATF guidelines is this a final push for support at midterms? Like if the war wasn't going so badly would these things be happening?
@TrumpsLostBalls@RapidResponse47@POTUS BD already has massive facilities in Columbus and are in the process of a very large expansion its supposed to take a couple years to finish but they are already the largest employer in town. There are also several apartment Buildings being built planning for the expansion
@Austin2Jacobsen Hey make the drive fun stop in some random small town along the way get ice cream or something. There is a lot of good stuff along that route
We don't have a tungaloy rep directly so iscar is easier for us. We do have ways to get it but that requires i find the part numbers myself so for a first test im letting the Iscar guy find it for me.
GARR is a small American tool maker that has recently stepped up to really awesome HEM tooling in the past 3-4 years. They just started polishing flutes little over a year ago.
I'm sure they have very limited presence in Japan if any but if you get the chance it's worth testing against your favorite tooling we have had amazing results compared to pretty much every other brand we have tried.
@kondoironworks I have my Iscar rep looking into them already will probably order one Monday to start testing.
This is one of the best we have used ever. The polished flute makes chip evacuation very good as well
