how scarce is a Milwaukee Jig Borer Model C

Tometric (I think that's what it said) but also think it had the word Trecker on it as well.

Looked like a very fine substantial piece but is this just a jig borer with Milwaukee's name on it?

A google search comes up with nothing.

Re: since I can't even discuss internet taxes here

will it stick weld? If so........ I couldn't see any reason not to go ahead and get something 300 amps Plenty of juice for Aluminum or heavy stick and since floor space is at a premium in my shop........ I'd miss the "bench top" space on the huge 1000 pound? Hobart but I'd sure welcome the...

Gauge Pin set from 6 thou to 750 thou

what in the heck good is such a set to me?

Tell me about values of USA made Meyers stuff that hasn't been certified in twenty years but shows virtually zero signs of being used.

Re: What a mess I'm in.....

well Gamemachinist......... in terms of absolutes I'm not sure you are either right or wrong but I do know the single disc units have managed to transfer the 400 horses and more I've ever hooked them up to but being the multi disc units can require less spring pressure to hold the same horsepower or...

Re: is this mill worth having?

this is very hard for me to process.......... ten years ago I worked on automobiles that used 65 on board mini-computers that all talked to each other and controlled stuff via over 70 miles of wire I just can't imagine today's PC's not being able to control a cnc machine's operation with the right s...

Re: ok, I gotta have a good basic CNC workstation

save time..........

I'd like something that would mill and turn but vertical three axis would likely suit me...... but more would be better

ok, I gotta have a good basic CNC workstation

I think I need one that has the "box ways"? as opposed to the less robust designs...... 40 or 45 taper unless deals are to be had on 50 taper machines..... needs to be reasonable to operate but I can typically stand up to a bit of learning curve even though I lack the kind of intelligence ...
