Bruce: Your web pages remind me of something I believe you mentioned once about using a laser pointer to align your mill/drill. Have you ever posted any...
I am sure I could find things to like about having a gearhead mill instead of the belt driven one I own: faster speed changes, and the ability to tilt the mill...
A very nice web site Jeff, very interesting and organized, and nice work. I will be interested to see your drill-mill or mill-drill cnc system when done. ...

Please remind me - when and why should I use 2-flute rather than 4-flute end mills? So far with my mill-drill I've used 4-flutes (and some 6-flutes) with great...
