Re: pic: CNC Milling Machine

I am so jealous.

Our CNC is a manual bridgeport - converted hobby mill. It has a decent amount of slop and no encoders, so it is unable to machine circular circles. We are probably going to use it as a manual mill for most uses this year, but will CNC out non-precise contours and pocketing. This way we have accurate parts that still look nice and professional.
