After receiving some private emails concerning both the Industrial Hobbies Mill and the Tormach PCNC1100 early Friday morning, I decided to drive down to Ontario and look at the IH firsthand. The IH is one impressive mill! Aaron Moss is probably the most straight-forward, honest person that I've ever talked to in the CNC field. He freely discussed the pluses and minuses of his mill and gave valid rreasons why his mill would work better in my project than smaller mills - without ever being negative about the compititon. At no time was there any pressure to buy his mill. Needless to say, after seeing the mill, turning the cranks and looking at and touching he parts that had been machined on the mill, the mill sold itself. Aaron, with his honesty, knowledge, and humor sold himself. This morning, I'm a happy IH owner. The mill and I arrived in Salt Lake City mid-day on Saturday. Unfortunately, the mill will remain in the back of my Dodge Dakota until Monday, when I can get a Tow Truck driver to come over with his boom and hook to lift the mill out of my truck. (That mill is heavy!)  |
