Lol,, after cabin fever and some interest in the haul truck I am waiting on a couple big crates from tormach . Possibly in a week and a half. And that is a bitter sweet issue,, sweet,because I'll have a big new toy , bitter because I have no clue how to use it!! So some serious learning to do!! And I thought partical physics was a hard subject, looking into learning CAD and CAM programs,,,,,, I think I would rather go back to learning molecular genetics!!! Guess I'm going to need to reopen that rolling account at the local beer distributor. !!!! It all makes perfect sense when you are pickled!!! Lol!! Just need to learn to hit the "run program" and run away!!!

I'm so jealous! There was a used(but nearly brand new) Tormach CNC mill for sale locally about a year ago. The guy had receipts for over $20K worth of goodies and wanted $12500CAD for it. It all looked brand new. Someone told me I should go and buy it but as per usual I didn't have the cash so I didn't. It sold within 2 weeks of being posted. I still don't have the funds but I've kicked my *** for not "finding the money" ever since. You already have some design experience so I'm sure you'll be fine. Part of my hesitation was that I have none at all and would have to start from scratch with the expense hanging over my head. Now being on the wrong side of the fence, I could be out of business very soon anyway thanks to Trump Doggy so then the mill would only be a toy. Everyone knows I just hate having toys.....

You talked about it all weekend and now you "gone and dun it"! Good luck. Of course, when you get fancy tools the expectations go up. After seeing the 785 in person, I'm not sure how much "up" is left!
