Time for a new mill and it's here.

[Wildfire1]

Although I got allot of use out out of my little mill/drill It was time to get a larger machine. The work is getting bigger so the machine needs to as well. Anyway here's the new milling machine. It's a 10X50 3 HP single phase unit. Power draw bar, power feeds on all axis, coolant system with chip tray, variable speed with a work light and I added the second light as well. It features a Fagor 40i 3 axis DRO with 3-D graphics. I also did a little prep work before the thing showed up and installed an I beam and winch so I don't have to lift the 12" rotary table. Anyway here's a few pics of the thing. The mill was built in Taiwan.

Thanks Ryan. The best way to answer that is to give you a close up of the sign on the shop

You know you have to christen a brand new machine with a woman bent across the table, don't you?
