any suggestions for the fly cutter and i saw a Criterion boring head, would that work on my mill?
so far, the sherline looks like a well made machine, but it seems like im "stuck" only to use their accessories, am i wrong?
thanks again! |
Hi DrBadWrench. Welcome to the Zone!
You are only "stuck" by the size of the mill. Size of cut depends on the rigidity of the mill. This tiny mill can only handle small tooling. R8 tooling will not fit this spindle,
Much of the Taig tooling will work with the Sherline mill.
