OK What happened to Vertical Mill forum?

[davo727]

I thought that was working good, it had stuff about RF45 clone and larger mills in it and now all that stuff- even threads pertaining to megadollar cnc industrial machining centers is in the benchtop mill section? Dave

Vertical Mills are irrelevant. Thay have been assimilated. Give in to the dark side. Discuss the X3. Resistance is futile.

Ha, That was cool! Yeah! and 7 of 9 is da bomb!

Bummer!

I guess you have to own either an Industrial Hobbies mill or a Sieg.

That's a pity, things were working fine before.

I must be missing something. Was there a forum deleted? Where did all the posts of that forum go? JRouche

You're soaking in it. Welcome back to the "Newbies asking the same three questions about Chinese Mills" forum.

OK, I hope this does it, now we have a Knee mill forum.

Hi Paul G, Thanks for taking care of cnczone. I love this site and have learned a lot and learn more every day I read it . So I hope you wont think im trying to be a complaining pain in the butt I think there a few issues that could use discussion and attention. My pet issue is the RF45 clone mill category. Has there been a valid logical reason given for opposing a combined (IH -R45 forum) ? The R45 are way too big for benchtop forum, is not a knee mill, they are a bed mill actually. They are 99% identical to the Industrial Hobbies mills. The best place for them is a combined (IH and RF45 clone forum) Reasons: New mill owners and newbies will see the forum title and go there instead of wasting time in the wrong forums. Common info on parts choices and sizes of things like ballscrews, steppers, servos and everything. Also modification and upgrade info will help advance many peoples progress. Is the owner of Industrial Hobbies against it due to percieved competition? I would think he would get a lot of parts sales to RF45 people converting their mills. The IH CNC conversion kits will probably fit with small or no changes. Next item the minimill people should have a discussion and maybe a poll and try to figure out how to organize their stuff. Well Thanks for your attention, Dave
