1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Well it does say metalworking on the bandsaw so I'm assuming it should go slow enough but still the slowest speed might not be that slow. Looks like it's set to slowest speed already though.

 

Badass

 

My router blocks ads thankfully so anything on my WiFi never gets ads. And because I have an Android I can use unlock origin for mobile service. Haven't seen an ad in years. I always laugh when people complain about ads because you only have to watch them if you take zero action against them, they're so easy to block.

 

Good older Jet, made in Taiwan. Round column mills can be a pain cause you loose your location everytime you move the head up & down but they're still capable machines.

Use that shit!

 

Sigh. I got another tint ticket. I need to remove my double 5s, anyone ever buy those pre cut ones from Amazon?

 

Ill look into it.

 

Looks too small to mill out rifle receivers. Virtually zero up and down movement. Useful for some stuff I suppose.

 

Oh, I have no idea. I don't do twittle or face space. I do have instapic but never seen it on there. Figure it had to be some kind of social media thing as everyone tries to copy stuff from it but I don't know. Was just curious, figured you guys might know.

 

Appears that it raises vertically a lot

 

Hard to tell but this os what happen last time i we cut something

 

Yeah didnt see that. Would be a big pain though since its a column style like @zero4 mentioned. I like knee mills as the table can drop a good 10 inches in the middle of a project if needed and the zero stays set.

 

I mean i can go higher

 

Cooking a big ol pot of rice because or both dogs is/are sick. So far I've cleaned up 4 nasty piles of vomit and I'm not even done discovering all of the creative spots they decided to use

 

Yup, that mill/drill has much more Z capacity than shown in the pic, can easily mill rifle receivers with that. Just need to reindicate everytime the head is moved. That's the downside of round column mills.

 

Thankfully my current dog has never been one to leave surprises in the house. Always managed to let us know we had approx 30 secs to act lol. Shame that she'll likely be gone before the end of the year.

 

That lathe has a cool backstory too. Came from the California Academy of Sciences.

 

Or if i just wanna make a hole

 

Throw a Kurt Vice on that mill and making a hole becomes a lot more enjoyable/safer.

 

Ah suck they eat something they shouldn't have?

 

Knee mills are great & I wish I had the room for one but not everyone needs a knee mill. So far my mill/drill has done everything I've needed it to. My mill has 17" of Z travel with a table to spindle distance of 18". Mine is a square column so I don't loose position when moving the head.
