[dimitary]

Thank you muchly for documenting this process. There's not many videos of it, and knowledge is power!

[aaronbaird]

Really have enjoyed your videos. It's great to see a company that is willing to invest in machinery to keep making a great product!

Congratulations you’ve come a long way baby!

Good to see the boss up and checking the fruits of his labor. I always appreciated the videos that taught me some of the side of machining I had no experience with. Congrats on a successful install.

That Mazak is sure a "Big Boy Toy" guys! My favorite workplace Warner & Swasey, never had anything that big!

I love Don, what a true gent and a great boss x

Nice to see another one of your videos. You look like you are doing well. I have just used my old surface grinder for the first time. Your videos are invaluable. It is a Brown and Sharpe model 2. About 90 years old. Brilliant finish and i got to within a hundred thousandths.

Wow! The tombstone you're making looks quite impressive.

[Plexcom]

Congratulations. Beats the hell out of my little unit. Good for you.

[snappers_antique_firearms]

Wow that looks more like a spaceship then a CNC machine. Congrats on the new workhorse

[Stefan_Boerjesson]

Congrats guys! Big toys for big Will You show us how to run it, Don? Joking! My hands would stay in the pockets.

It would be nice to follow several of your parts from entry of raw stock to finished parts. You make beautiful stuff! Congratulations on the new machine.

I wish you would've finished your part 2 of "grinding a goove" I had a tool I was working on and almost blew it! Somehow i figured it out. I had the re-dress my wheel about 40 times when I was .002 away. Could've used some more advice.

Hey Don good to see you !! I see that you got a little hitch in your giddy up? Get well soon or I hope it doesn't bother you to much?
FYI your going to love that horizontal ! Moreover, that control !!!

[HM-Projects]

Good to see Don up and about, that is indeed a monster. That's the size of an apartment in Tokyo 😂

[rustymachineshop]

Where's your buddy Glen he's cool 😎 Hope all the success and productivity of the new machine love seeing something being made in USA 🇺🇸 thanks Don

Are you finishing the tops with the mill or Blanchard grinding them afterwards?
