Last night's "Light Posting" entry
I received two comments asking about the milling machine pictured in that post.
It is a
Grizzly G3103.
This comes with a power feed on the table. I am planning at some point in the future to implement CNC and this unit lends itself very well to this.
I have a number of other Grizzly tools and have been very very happy with them with the exception of their ASO's (Anvil Shaped Objects). The Grizzly Anvils suffer from the same problem that a bunch of other Anvils have -- the people designing them have never used an Anvil. Wrong metal, wrong heat treating, wrong taper on the horn, wrong set of holes on the top.
It is fun -- I have done a lot of woodworking (In high-school, I wanted to be a pipe-organ builder and apprenticed to one for a summer.) and still love it but metal is calling more and more to my heart. More elemental / less ephemeral.
