Hey guys.
Just happen to run across this site while following a link to a Lathemaster 8 X 14 that I've been considering. I should be placing an order next month so I'll post some pics and a review when it comes in.
I recently bought a Sieg X2 milling machine at HF when they had an unadvertised special for $249, which I thought was a good deal for a small R8 spindle machine. Hopefully I can hang out here some and learn about which small engine kit I should start with. This looks like a fun place to learn.
BTW, I'm an ex-factory rep for several carbide cutting tool companies. If any of you guys need help with applications involving indexable cutting tools or end mills let me know. From what I can gather on the home machining forums, there's a lot of undue fear and trepidation about using carbide on small hobby machines.
Anyway, I look forward to participating and learning from you guys.
Glad I found this place.
