I'm still waiting on my mini mill to be built, I'm finally stepping into cnc myself I've been training with my mentor and taking some schooling to get up to snuff. I know I've got a long road to go and ill never stop learning. Sometimes I'm still amazed at what He can do with one of these. Anyway thanks for looking just wanted to share in my excitment.

The sl30 is a beast. The ST is the newer version of them. I only run aluminum through them now, but steel was just as smooth. Accurate at high speed and amazingly quiet even when boring.

Thanks very much, she runs great, cuts smooth and straight just needs a bit of oiling here and there to keep her happy.
