I'm pushing for a mill at my job. We buy ridiculously machined sinks for badass electronics. They are SPAHENDY! No problem gabbing my way in to a laser cutter and 3D printer. Each under $1000 and proving their worth every minute. I'm hoping that's the lever I wield to make my boss think an MR-1 was his idea the whole time. Keep the vids coming! When I eventually get one, you'll be a great source to my first set-up success. Sub fo sho.

Doing God's work. You're an actual hero. You have any idea how many videos like this I wish existed. Just some short simple one's that show you the glaringly obvious issues you'll encounter with a new system. It's a true passion to help others. And that's beautiful.

Good vid guy. I wasn’t able to get in on the first wave but hoping to place an order shortly. (Unintended) benefit I suppose is seeing what folks are doing to address shortcomings. Overall seems like a solid machine, especially for those of us just getting into it.

hi thanks for the vid, can the MR-1 be used to CNC injection molds? would the finish be okay?

Great video can you show how programming works

Magnets are great for holding tools if you machine nonferrous metals. If machining ferrous metals all the chips will start to be attracted to the magnetized tools from the magnets.

Very true. I don't machine steel very often, when I have it wasn't much of an issue.

Bits are very expensive although last long. I spent more than 6€ for single tungsten carbide coated bit !!!! 😗😗 and I have a lot of various bits for different materials so this is great expenses for this hobby or work.

the tool setter correction has been crazy annoying. I've been procrastinating on adding a buffer piece under mine because I work with extremely high tolerances, a 10th or less and don't feel like readjusting the center.

Thank you with your tips, I have a question I'm planning to build a machine like this since I'm not living in the US. So I wanted to know. Is it a good machine about accurate and rigidity? Is the z height enough? What is the dimensions of the x axis Thank you in advance.

@worknplayusa

The machine is very accurate and rigid IMO. that being said this is my first milling machine. Z height hasn’t been an issue for me yet but it is certainly a limitation, if my memory serves me right there’s 6 inches of Z travel, with the spindle in the lower position you have 7 inches and the upper position 9 inches table to nose.

I’m not hating on it, and I’m about to purchase the MR-1, but can someone explain the concrete. Is it simply to add weight to the unit? Because if its purpose is to add weight as well as create a level surface while holding the components in place.. like the rails and the table.. then why not use something like Kerdi board(Schluter systems).. to create a grid in the pan, and then pour concrete into the grid. From my vantage point, this would provide a more secure concrete base, and it would be lighter, while still providing the surface for epoxy. It just seems odd to take an advanced system like this and dump a bunch of Quikrete into the pan. What am I missing?

I believe you want as much weight as possible to dampen vibrations. Good luck with your build!

If you can't hold the workpiece down you can’t cut it. It’s just plain stupid to use your hands, you're just asking to lose a finger or two. Mill a square pocket into some wood and sandwich each one and mill them that way so they don’t move. The wood will stop the mesh from moving and you’ll get a clean cut. Or drill press it.
