Hello all,

I'm retired from the Air Force, DONE moving and looking for a new hobby with which to clutter my new garage

I'd like to buy a CNC mill, suitable for fabricating fairly detailed parts from 6061 aluminum.

Suggestions on the mill and general entry into the CNC-as-hobby realm would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Bill

Good luck. Do you have any g-code programming or cad/cam programming at least (you can get the cam to write the g-code for you.)
