Squealing like a stuck pig.

If you are interested in getting some good 3 flute mills J&L Industrial that I quoted prices on earlier has a 35% off sale going on just on end mills.

I have enough material to start testing cut depth and speed now, so maybe this weekend I can run the programs Hoss e-mailed me and post those results. I ordered some three Flute cutters from 800watts to play with. They should be here in a week and than I'll rerun the speed test. Smitty

Since you're a Dr. Pepper fanatic, what did you think?? Did you like it from the original recipe?? What about finally being able to drink it out of a glass bottle again?? It's not that I'm not interested about your mill, lol, I'm just curious how it was after droppin' that kind of cash on some soda, lololol... That's crazy!!

I got to thinking about your offer and was on priceline getting ready to confirm my airline tickets when this little voice in my head says, "Carl, if this guy was willing to drop $81 on soda, he might be crazy!!" So thanks for the offer but I guess I'll hold off until the real Doctor Pepper can send me your psychiatric evaluation~



Let us know how your test cuts go this weekend... Oh, who's Hoss?? Did you get on the other forum to get help with programming??

Good luck!!

Original is not as sweet as the cans I drink now. Glass is the only way to go though it doesn't get warm as quickly although I drink it to fast for that to happen anyway. $81 for the Dr. Pepper only once in a great while.

If you ask the wife about my mental stability, depending on the day it could go either way. It would be nice to have a small local machine shop to watch and ask question of. Mentorship would be nice and would probably save me some money as well.

I was informed that my Brother in Laws 25 wedding anniversary is this weekend so maybe after church I can knock them out. It would be interesting to have several people do it on thier X-2 to see the performance of the various configurations.

I believe Hoss thread is X-2 finished for now maybe, it has the highest post and read count in this section.

Just out curiosity, how much does a guy have to dole out (ballpark with delivery/tax/etc.) minus tooling since I have all of that?? Where do I go to get all the specs on them??

I'm asking because I have a 'pro light' but it's the only mini mill I've ever used... lol, I can't remember if said this before but at the risk of being redundant, my little mill weighs about a third as much as the coolant in my regular mill!! Are you liking the product thus far?? (Not counting software and setup issues, I just mean the quality of the mill itself...)

I'm dropping the pro light off at a friends sign shop for awhile to teach him the basics of 3D machining and programming... My mini uses standard R8 collets, what does yours use?? The same, ER style or proprietary holders?? Can you get rotary fourth axis on it?? Oh, is the spindle programmable??

Sorry for all the questions but they might have 2 more buyers up in Kalamazoo if it seems like a good unit, although that little Tormach looks kind of interesting to me too...

So is the newer sweeter Dr. P more to your liking or do you like the cane sugar just as well?? We have stewarts and jones soda in Michigan and they're both better than anything else I've ever had... They probably make 30 different flavors between the two companies... (Saves on shipping since the store is 4 doors down from my shop, lol, I just jump in the S.W.A.T. ranger and go grab me some... I can't even hit 50mph on the way there or I skid past it every time, lol~)
