Hello, Several members including myself had requested a change to the zone to provide a place for the 7045, r45 and all the full size square column mill clones including IH to get together to try to pool info and such. The benchtop mill forum has great info for the x1 to x3, round column and sherline and such but the big square column clones really didnt fit . The Admin has added a new forum for that. New forum is called Vertical Mills (non benchtop) http://www.cnczone.com/forums/a/ Here is the request we made on the suggestion forum here. Make IH forum for all full sized square column mills... So If you have one of these mills, are interested in them or have a mod or improvement to show to try and help us all out please come in. Also any questions are welcome, I think we will have good participation. I have a Zay7045 from wholesale tool I am working on. I asked admin to move my first mod thread- Some R45-7045 mill mods over to the new forum. Thanks, Dave
