If the Lilliputians had ratchet straps back in the day, Gulliver would still be tied to the beach.
I got a decent price but had to do a few repairs to get her up and running. I replaced the old 2 axis digital readout with a brand nicky new 3 axis readout. I also had to rewire the X-axis power feed. Since I fixed her up I have done a good bit of machining. Notice how she is holding her head up tall and proud.
Hopefully I will get a few good years of making chips.
Yes the chips are hot. And yea! It hurts like the dickens when the chips go down your shirt or land on your face or arms

And here I am debating over getting a table saw.
Yay for new machinery (that is older than me)!!
((applause)) Very happy for you and your new purchase.
Um. Whatizzit?
Go you! Keep your collar buttoned up!
Congrats! It looks cool but not quite sure what it does besides make hot chips or even what it is.
Awesome machine. Although I'm pretty sure I'd have a hole in my hand in no time.
LOL @ Gulliver & Ratchet strap reference. I use a pair for my surfboard (on roof of car), thing stays on fine at 40MPH.
Watching the spinning thing go round and round is mesmerizing. I'll BET those chips hurt like the dickens!
It's funny you used that term. I've been saying "like the dickens" for a couple weeks now. It cracks my hubby up every time. Why? I don't know. But he gets the giggles.
I liked your Lilliputian reference. Those little people are good friends of mine. :)
You lost me at... axis digital readout.
She looks like a knockout.
You are too bright for most of us....
