USS Constitution - Model Shipways

[Der Alte Rentner]

Hey Chris.
Have you considered adding a "signature" to your user ID here? I've found it useful (especially for myself) to have the ability to go directly to my first and last posts from anywhere I see my icon. But it's also much easier to get to someone else's build from their signature. Most only have signatures linking to their finished projects. I like having the first and last posts linked for my (one and only, as well as) current project.
Cheers and Happy Father's Day
Peter

P.S.
Please refresh my memory on the mill you're using. I know it's neither Proxxon nor Sherline.
Thanks

Hi Peter,

I'll look into adding a signature - thanks for the tip. As far as Mills - I own a TAIG. Its substaintial and has a long x and y table. It also comes with the stepper motor to spin at 10000 rpm which we need to work with wood. You need to install that modification as an extra with the Sherline. Here's the site - I bought this model.

2019ER Micro Mill

TAIG Micro Mill 2019ER is designed for exceptional accuracy and versatility, ideal for a wide range of milling jobs.

Its compatible with most Sherline accessories (I use their vise and many other accessories - thats the one of the areaa in my opinion they have over the TAIG mill) The Sherline also has a DRO option which could be nice to have.

Hope this helps !

Hi Peter, I called TAIG about a year ago and they did have one refurbished unit (the savings was nominal) - and then I needed to replace furnaces and you know how that would have impacted my hobby budget...
