The Chaos Cache

So, this page is a little different. My old mill (M.A.C.) was having some issues—it wasn't powerful enough, and it was in serious need of maintenance. The goal was to build a new mill and get rid of the old one. The name I chose for it was C.H.E.E.Z., which stands for Cutting, High-speed, Expert Zone. The only reason I gave it that name is because now I have M.A.C. & C.H.E.E.Z.... and that just felt right.

But, as with so many plans in this workshop, things went a bit off course. The old mill ended up getting a power upgrade, and this new mill still sits unfinished. It’s a bit of a running joke, a testament to the fact that my mind, and my wallet, can't always keep up with my ideas.

But even unfinished, this mill is a vital part of the workshop's story. It's a monument to a great idea and a testament to the fact that I'll get around to finishing it one day... I'm sure of it.

Ahh, yes, the g0704. The perfect option to use for my new CNC mill. It's still sitting assembled in a different part of the shop, waiting for me to finish the new stand for it. It's a classic case of the new toy syndrome, where the excitement of a new tool is quickly replaced by the chaos of a stalled project.

I don't always just wing my projects—sometimes I actually put a ton of thought into them. And this one? I had years of thoughts about what I'd do differently with a new mill.
