Some of you might have seen the old shop tour I posted a year or so ago (on another forum though). With the addition of the new mill, i decided to make a new shop tour to show how my shop looks now.

I also made a couple videos of the new machine doing a few small things to show some of it's capabilities. As time allows, i will try and make some more videos later of the milla ctually cutting some different parts.

Autoamtic tool length and diameter offset measurement and setting.

Why a full enclosure was a must have.

Tool changes, 100% rapids and 100% feeds for a couple tools (tracing a 2" x 2" square).

Very nice setup Wat! I have a machinist friend who does some work for me when needed and if he could see your shop he would definitely be in Awww

Looks like you have a saber builders paradise there

Very cool!

Cool videos Wat! I like how easy the tools change out and it sounds like the machine is relatively quiet. I look forward to the videos of machining in progress.
