A Chester Eagle 25. I&#8217;ve also bought a Chinese 4-axis CNC driver board.</p> <p>The mill is out of stock currently, so I&#8217;ve got a 12 week wait there probably, and 12-24 working days to wait for the driver board. Once the driver board&#8217;s here I&#8217;ll be grabbing the four steppers and PSU rather than have them sit around untested. :)</p> <p>While it sounds like an unpleasantly slow process, it will give me the extra time I need to sell the current mill and replace workbenches it&#8217;ll all be going on.</p> <p><span class="st_facebook_large" st_title="New Mill Project" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1067" displaytext="share"></span><span class="st_twitter_large" st_title="New Mill Project" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1067" displaytext="share"></span><span class="st_email_large" st_title="New Mill Project" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1067" displaytext="share"></span><span class="st_sharethis_large" st_title="New Mill Project" st_url="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1067" displaytext="share"></span></p><p style="text-align: right"><small>Mirrored from <a href="http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=1067" title="Read Original Post">The blog-hub for Peter "Sci" Turpin</a>.</small></p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sci_starborne&ditemid=175668" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://sci-starborne.dreamwidth.org/175668.html projects milling machine eagle 25 windfall equipment workshop business public 0
