Thread: Hi folks

22/06/2023 05:49:35

I started looking in to posting a question about my mill but I can't seem to rotate images in an album correctly. It seems to make all images landscape even if they were originally portrait. Did I miss something?

Thanks for the warm welcome folks.

Howard: I have little or no HSS tooling so it looks like I should acquire some. I bought inserts for machining aluminium and they give a very nice finish but I have had less success with inserts for steel. I learned something new already - I'd never heard of tangential turning tools!

Where would you buy HSS toolbits?

Hi all,

I'm Myles and I live in NZ's South Island just north of Christchurch. I don't have a background in machining but I have bought myself a lathe and a mill which I am learning to use, mostly from YouTube. I have not many projects yet other than a few parts for my car and repairs for bits and pieces.

I do have questions from time to time and would certainly appreciate an expert or two.

Cheers

Myles
