I picked up a sherline 5000 mini mill yesterday in a trade. I also got about 15 cutters with it. Came with an extra belt also. Looks to have been used very little. I'm hoping that I'll be able to make a set of aluminum jaws to fit my buddies lathe chuck to begin with.
Anyone here have one of these, and if so, do you have any tips for a milling beginner? Other than take it slow, of course.

Re: Sherline Mill
I really, really, really NEEEEED a mini mill. I suppose I probably also need a place to put it.

Re: Sherline Mill
I picked up the mill. He included quite a few bits and an extra new belt. I haven't tried it out yet, but looking forward to giving it a whirl.
