This is what’s called a “blog” (aka “web log”) which in essence, is an online journal or diary of sorts. The purpose here is to make the site more interactive by allowing users such as yourself to post comments, questions, ramblings and what-not based on the journal entries we post.
We’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time but have been swamped with orders of our plans and kits and with upcoming projects in development. This “blog” happens to also be a more convenient method for us to share our developments with the community of machinists, tinkerers and hobbyists.
We have tons of pictures and articles yet to be published as we’ve made more modifications to the X2 mini mill, continued development of our injection molding machine and stamping and crimping machine, made some novel projects like our pneumatic beer can crusher (who couldn’t use one of these!), and our latest project – a DRO and CNC 8×12 Harbor Freight small lathe (aka 8×14 Lathemaster lathe).
We had done some work to our older 7×10 Harbor Freight lathe but found the 8x lathe so much useful for our projects that we’ve spent nearly all of the time working with the 8x!
You’ll note that there are categories that are divided by class of machine. For example, our CNC 8×12 lathe will be in the “8x Small Lathe” section of the “blog” while continued work with the X2 mini mill will be in the “X2 Mini Mill” section. You may have also noticed a section called “X3 Small Mill”… Stay tuned for that one!
Thanks again for visiting this site. We hope to continue providing informational topics about these great little machines and the little machine shops in which they are used. Have fun and enjoy!
