Small Miill Drill - Hard Milling, 1045, and DOC/WOC advice from ya'll

[Ray C]

Thanks a TON guys. Your comments are really helpful! Again, THANKS!


Ray, Quick Q if I may? How rigid is the PM45-CNC platform? My Mill is in need of "rigidization". That will be the quest for the next few days. LOVE that Plasma cutter. Braces, mounts, struts in 10-20mins. w/ holes to boot. I guess we found Plasma so fun and easy to do that Milling seemed to be a logical progression.

CG,

If you want to get a slightly better picture of how rigid the PM 45 CNC is, check out this thread where I posted some videos of it in action. http://www.hobby-machinist.com/showthread.php?t=23636
