yup...that's my link /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
i'm am pretty happy with the hf for the price.
it can only do about 6" reasonably /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif and i've only tested up to 2.5" diameter, and it was getting pretty close...don't expect anything over 3", if that.
also, the crosslide on mine isn't very sturdy, you can move it back and forth, making it difficult to do some inside cutting.
the biggest problem with it though, is the fact that i have a hard time finding 5/16" tooling for it. to be perfectly honest, all i have so far is the 1/4" indexables from the hf site, and some ground down screwdrivers.
someday, i will hopefully get around to buying 15 or so tool blanks and a angle gauge so i can make some threading tools and make reall things...not just heatsinks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif
also, it is metric /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
the only stuff i found useful for it on the hf site were the 1/4' indexables (must use a shim), a drill chuck, and a digital caliper.
and remember, it's easier to take metal away then put it back on /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
