The company that I work for has a rewards program where they give employees 'reward points' if the employee is deemed to have went 'above and beyond the normal' in job performance. I have collected enough of these points to redeem them for a $400.00 prepaid mastercard.

So, I decided to do some shopping...

I placed an order with CDCO for a CXA wedge qctp set, a 3 inch R8 boring head, a 5C collet block set, and a metric thread gage set.

Its like Christmas in here right now!

I'll send some snow down your way.. then it will really be a white Christmas.
it's piling up ..
Enjoy...
Those CX look like AX sitting on the mill.. funny how the scale is off by what must be a large table.
 
Now that you mention it, they do look small... its a 9x49 table.

My son decided it was time to get a higher production CNC mill than we have now. So he just bought a 2016 Haas TM2P. It'll be loaded on the truck in the morning, it's in Florida at the moment.

This is a picture of a actual machine, not a sales brochure. This machine is brand new, only 130 hours. Was purchased new by a retired gentleman and he apparently decided to do something else in his golden years. Has every offered option.

Two things:

1) Couldn't you find one further away on the same continent? ;)

2) Congratulations! I envy you being able to work closely with your son. Enjoy every precious minute!
