    Pictures of My Lathe & CNC MILL

    Hi, I am new to machining. I wanted to share pictures of my shop (garage). Both the mill and the lathe is made by: Sieg.

    The mill is their X1 model. Very small and wish I bought a bigger mill. The lathe is their C6 model and is very nice. I remembered about wanting a bigger mill than I originally bought, so I bought the biggest lathe I can possibly afford. Would like to eventually CNC the lathe once I can save up the money.

    The CNC kit for the mill came from a company in Scottland called Simply CNC.

    I am heavily into radio control cars and bought these to make RC car parts. The picture with the mill CNC'ing - it is cutting a new part for buggy at the time. I keep a lot of the info on my cars on my website: http://studysession.com

    So far I have been making 2D objects and CNC'ing them out. I have also been using the mill for engraving. This has been quite a learning experience for me. I still have loads to learn. I stumbled accross this forums a couple of moneth ago and found it very useful. So far everyone has been very helpful in answering my questions. I now want to share what I have and what my shop looks like.

    Let me know what everyone thinks of my pictures. Thanks!!!
