I've been laying low lately, working 2 jobs and busting hard to save my pennies for this. Happily, today my new toy arrived. Picked up a CNC mill to aid my small business and do some more complex custom work.

Excited is too small of a word for me right now.

Here's a few pics:



And to keep it relevant to :SNSign: :



The notch gives up about 3500 lbs to the tool. If they tangled, it wouldn't be good for the fox! haha

Haha, if anything it means higher prices!

One thing it means is we'll make more parts, and the fox won't be left out. No way, too many ideas...

The only thing I can say now is that I'm going to try to make things which aren't available everywhere already. Lots of ideas, but it's going to take a little time to get used to this thing.

Honestly, right now it's a little intimidating!

As you see, this has a bridgeport style head (R8 taper). The bed mills with a solid column were simply out of reach. I got lucky on this find, since I was looking hard at knee mills. Having 22" on Z was too good to pass up!

If you need help with programming give me a hollar (daniel93gt@hotmail.com) I Currently run a cnc mill and lathe and do most of the programming for the parts we make. What language is the mill? FANUC or Heidenhain?

Wow. I have a few ideas:

How about a whole CNC Foxbody? LOL, that would be awesome, but I doubt it could be done. How about Ford Emblems, but instead of FORD writen in them, have "foxbody" or just "FOX". With what ford is doing with lawsuites, I don't want thier name on my car.

A gauge/switch bezel for us that have deleted radio and HVAC would be an awesome start.
