If you are referring to Ronald Reagan, he was elected in 1980 and was largely responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union, a fact that grates on the socialists of the world to this day. BTW, it was you who started with the political talk, which really has no place on this forum, so how about posting something about what you have done lately with your machine. What exactly do you have machinery wise- Mori, Haas, Tormach, Harbor Freight 3 in1 ?

Yep I agree....even though a one liner is hardly political talk, keep politics out of the fun stuff for sure.

Meanwhile back at the ranch...... the machine I bought is a Skyfire SVM-0 model with a few options I wanted to have.

I'm a manual machinists from way back last century but wanted to learn the CNC techno and get into the CNC world etc......100% for hobby use, so Haas et al are monsters compared to the SVM-0......who needs a dump truck to do the weekly shopping....LOL.

It's all been documented at great length on the original Skyfire thread, now closed, so I won't bore everyone with details as you can look it up yourself if it's that important.
