Milling machine

I picked up a Grizzly X3 milling machine a few weeks ago, mainly to make parts for the Ultralight project.

Grizzly X3 milling machine

In the next few weeks, I will be adding servomotors and ballscrews to each axis, and a computer-controlled interface powered by Mach3. Eventually it will have an automatic tool changer, high-speed spindle, rotary 4th axis, and some other stuff. Stay tuned :)
