Gorton Milling machine

Ive got a 3-z that is a very nice fast plastics and aluminum mill. Pretty darned rigid when the head is locked own, and will turn a cutter Really fast. Pretty accurate as well. A buddy came over earlier today and he used it to cut some copper gaskets for some sand rail project he is puttering with. Put a 1/8" 4 flute TiN endmill in there, ran it up about 8000 rpm and just cut thru it like a hot knife though butter.

I wish I had a manual for mine so I could figure out how to do 1:1 or a bigger work piece from a small pattern when in pantograph mode
