That would be great. Let me know what you can send drawing wise. Very interested to try this.

Sounds great. Ping us an e-mail to [email protected] and we can work on the drawings on a one-to-one basis.

I'm still on the fence. Why did you get the Charter Oaks instead of the Novakon?
Well the first reason was probably because neither Novakon or Tormach existed back in 2004-2005, when Paul bought his machine from Industrial Hobbies (which has changed ownership twice since then, becoming Charter Oak in the process). Did I get that right, Paul?
IIRC, the only games in town for homeshop cnc machines in that era were Sieg KX1/KX3 (rebadged as Smithy or Syil) and Industrial Hobbies. The Sieg KX3 was a 6x26 machine, the IH something like 9x39.
EDIT: Whoops, I was wrong, since this was a recent purchase....

Tormach 1100-3, Grizzly G0709 lathe, Clausing 8520 mill, SolidWorks, HSMWorks.
ok, I was a little imprecise.
Tormach released their first mill for sale in Oct 2005. Yes, the company existed before then, but not with a product for sale. Which goes back to my statement that when Paul bought his IH mill, there was noTormach 1100 competitor.
The first time I ever heard of Novakon was in 2006, maybe they existed before then, but I never heard them mentioned on the zone. At that time they were carrying the Sieg KX1 and KX3, IIRC.
So Ray, when did Novakon start selling mills?
I think the argument is moot, because I was wrong about when Paul got his IH/CO machine.
