The closer to 2013 we get the more trouble I seem to encounter so I may hunker down in a cave for a year and do a Rip Van Winkle
Today after a spell of honey do's and socialising commitments (not my scene really) and hot weather I headed back to the shed to cut the T slots in my R/T as the cutter arrived last week. Set up the table in the mill, set the speed and have at it. Well that went well now to set up the next 2 to cut and I'm done
OK all set so start to feed the cutter in and 1/4" in the bang tells me I am stuffed. The head of the mill (round column) moved and now the cutter is bent. !#@$
#%(&. Stop for lunch and I'll see if I can straighten it later. I hope this isn't the start of a year of crap
The only upside is the cutter was $11 Hong Kong special though it did cut very well. Before it is suggested the Minister for Finance and War says the pension won't stretch to a new square column mill
