Some things about it:
- http://www.busybeetools.com/products/knee-mill-with-stand-2hp-220v-craftex.html
- Similar to Grizzly G3102
- 2HP motor
- R8 spindle accepts industry standard tool holders
- speed is adjusted with belts
- currently no CNC or DRO functions but we're looking into adding this
- a set of tools and accessories are available to use with the machine or you can bring your own
Usage & Safety
The milling machine is both a precision machine and also powerful enough to serious hurt you. It needs to be treated with the same respect you would give any precision tool. All members are welcome to use the machine after being shown how to use it properly.
- Only trained members may use this machine.
- Tie back long hair, remove long sleeved shirts and jewellery.
- Eye protection must be worn when machine is running.
- Check all tooling and machine for damage before using.
- Sweep / vacuum up chips and leave the machine clean.
- No unconventional / unsafe use, or use on non-metals.
- No hammering on the machine table. It is high precision!
- You break it, you buy it!
You MUST be trained before using this machine. Please consult a member who knows what they are doing. You can help a guest with a job but guests are not permitted to use the machine themselves.
