I took the opportunity to for some more basic cnc lathe training when the welding shop needed an 1-1/4" rod threaded on both ends. Using my Milltronics ML16II and it's conversational programming, I made some practice cuts to get the feel for it, making some adjustments on my tool offsets, then went on to machine my first real workpiece in the new cnc lathe. Baby steps I know, but every time I'm on the machine I'm one step closer to understand how to operate it better. #milltronics #cnc #cnclathe #abom79 #learningcnc https://milltronics.com/cnc-machinery-sales/turning/ Paypal Channel Donation: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=T325L5JZMY9LY&source=url Support though Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abom79 My Amazon store where I'm adding many of the tools and products I use in my own shop.
