Hello,
I have been slowly collecting a few machining items over the years and finally started setting up my shop, hopefully to be able to start making chips over the winter. I have done a bit of machining in the past, but years between and very basic stuff, and all just with trial and (mostly) error. It was a nice surprise to find this forum, and hope to learn some things as I get set up. I tend to collect quite a bit of antique junk machinery at auctions and such, and what little machining I have done has been handy for repairs on old tractors and such where parts are long unavailable.
I just got my mill set up on stand today, after years of sitting on a pallet buried at the back of the sheet metal fab shop where I work. It was a pleasant surprise to find this forum, I was already able to answer a few of my questions from previous threads.
