The main problem with the mill is the CNC part. There is so much backlash I can't compensate for it with the CNC software and it gets a little sloppy. I am fairly certain I can make a decent die slug if I just do it manually on the mill instead of with the CNC. It will take more time but I think it will come out better than that prototype I made before that was off a little.
Whenever I get back to the mill I will give it another go manually. Might be a while though. Headed to Georgia for a couple weeks and then it looks like right out to another job after that in Cali. Then the daughter will be moved back and I will have her on the weekends I am home.
What I should do is drive up there today and pick the mill up and find a place to use it here....
What do you think of the CF633? Is it possible to get decent results from it? From what I looked up on their site it has an absolute accuracy of .5C, that is ok but most of my own blocks are less than .5C different
. The main problem I see is the size of the thermo probes.
