New Toy

My mate delivered this to me the other day.


Milling Machine
Milling Machine


It's 3 phase, 1.5hp. And it was free. He's buying some Carlos-Fandango CNC machining centre so this was surplus.

When I get some time I'll rig it up and learn something useful. It's a Chinese one, but it looks OK and it worked fine in his business for the last few years.

Neil.

Keep an eye on ebay - I've seen converters on there occasionally.
Just make sure that its power rating matches your motor.

The motor is in a fairly roomy area in the back - you might be able to put a single-phase motor in there.

Nice toy though!
