Throughout the build process you will notice that my machines aren’t exactly ‘stock’. This page highlights and explains some of my modifications.
Mill
I started machining with a Sherline 2000 Mill and eventually reached a point where I realized it was too small for the type of projects I like to build. This video shows how I expanded it with parts from A2Z and others that I built myself.

Feeds & Speeds
Using the proper feeds and speeds can cut down your machining time and greatly improve the finish on your parts. This video shows how I use GWizard from CNCCookbook.com, an electronic speed control and a Kool Mist spray attachment to get better results.
