Well, since I can't find anyone that has the x3 in stock and I really want a bigger floor mill anyway... I bought my second x2 today. I want to do some small cnc work in the short term and decided it was worth it for me to outfit another x2, then once my shop is complete in the next few weeks, I will by my floor mill. I will be getting the g3617 from grizzly so I can do heavier materials.
I ended up getting some r8 tooling at an auction recently and since I was going to have to buy a table for around $225 from LMS, I decided just to keep the lathe/mill intact and buy a new complete x2 from HF. It can use the r8 tooling where my grizzly is an MT3 mill. So I have the best of both worlds I guess.
So at this point, I have the Xylotex 4 axis kit and the CNC fusion complete set heading my way.
Have any of you guys used the "Newfangled" plugin wizard in Mach 3? It looks pretty thorough and well written. |
