Any opinions on this mill?

I guess you will let us know:):)

Get yourself an Albreight keyless chuck. Get the knockoff ones, they run very true.

Joe,

Quite a few cue makers use grizzly mills and the one I posted on the link above is used by a lot of cue makers. Regardless still a good mill to do custom jigs, parts, etc. actually you might be able to buy a power feed and install on that mill.

I wasnt asking which mill to buy. And i didnt ask for your input on points or ring billets. But thanks again for not answering my question and trying to show the world how much you know. Lol.

Joe,

Here we go again... I post on one of your threads and here you are again being defensive. So if you are making cues are you buying the mill for building parts only? If you are then that mill will do the job.
Or did you just realized you made a $1200 mistake and you're just acting weird funny?
With a mill you can do ringwork and points as long as you buy a few more accessories but since you know it all I am sure you know what else you need to get.
Have fun with that mil and watch your fingers.

Lol. You are funny Tony. I asked for cuemakers opinions, not the opinion of a guy who makes part of his cues and then sends them out to a cue maker in Maryland to finish them for him. And im sure with all your experience making cues, you do indeed know everything. Rest assured, i will never trust you, or your opinion on anything. You have no honor or respect for anyone. You proved that when you threw Rick under the bus. I told you last time you ran your mouth in one of my threads to never answer my questions again, leave it to the qualified cue builders who actually do all their own work. Now if you dont mind, please go away and let those who i have respect for answer my question. Thank you.

Joe
 
Dude,

You are full of it, I mean it stinks to the stuff you are buried on all the way in California.
Yeah, Sly helped me with my first cue finish and I disclosed that. That was many moons ago. I don't need to tell you in particular what my finish is and how I do it because it would take you months for you to figure it out... I mean I was not the one that asked how to drill a straight hole here...
My work from start to finish is done in my shop, nobody else touches my cues.
My work is out there for people to see and it speaks for itself...
Now I need to praise you man, because the paper weight you bought has a super cool paint color. Maybe you can find a cheaper paper weight on a garage sale next time.
Also, the Rick subject is none of your business, I already apologized to him because I think I could have approached the issue in a different way.
Having said that I think it's time for you to go back and keep watching Sponge Bob.
 
Where exactly did you disclose that you didnt do all your work? Lol. You are a joke. Always have been, always will be. And you made how you treated Rick everyones business when you posted on AZ. Hell, Rick is the only one to stand up for you, and you took a big steaming dump on him. I have yet to meet a cuemaker that thinks you are worth anything. I dont know why im even typing this, because everyone knows exactly how you are, just ask Chris Byrne. See Tony, when you screw someone over, or get caught lying and taking credit for work that you didnt do, people dont just forget. That stench lingers on for years and years, ask Eddie Wheat and Jeff Eason. And yes, i sure as hell did ask how to drill a straight hole, and many people shared many ideas that a lot of folks found useful. Im not afraid to admit when i dont know something. You on the other hand, dont do anything except lie, cheat, and steal. Ive said my piece, now go back to your shop and make some more stuff for a different guy to finish. Thanks for the laughs man. Lol.

Joe
 
Keep showing your true colors...
I don't need to prove anything to you.
Looking forward to see your work :lol:

I think it will be fine for a lot of things. Just have to be patient. It does have some good features for a small print machine, I like the ability to tilt or square up the head to the table.
One accessory I advise getting if funds are available is the R8-Er32 collet holder/adapter and then either get a collet set or just get the ones you need as you use them.
I am a fan of the Rego-fix brand. They have a very good spec on their collets and are of very good quality for the money.
The more you use one of these mills the more you will learn to do with it within it's travel limits.
The only other thing I recommend is what I call the kerosene overhaul . Just take apart the obvious, clean and lube, de burr ,then carefully reassemble , checking clearances etc.
Anyway, good luck with you new machine tool .

I don't know but by the time you get a powerfeed, indexer, tailstock and all, might as well get a cnc router.
My 2 centavos.

Ive already got an indexing head and tailstock, but i wanted a mill to make more than just cues.

Add a powerfeed which is no big deal and your good to go.

Looks like a good mill for points, point stock and billets all kinds of fun stuff.
