I have resigned myself to the fact that a full sized knee mill is just not
possible or feasible for now . Right now , the best compromise for me is
going to be an X3 type mill/drill . I have room for one that size , and it
will do most of the projects I have in mind . The bigger stuff will just
have to wait .
I've been looking around for a 15% off one item (or even 10% ...) coupon
with no luck . Do they still have these ? If so , can one of y'all fine
folks provide me with a link ?

Wish I had a link but don't feel bad about the knee mill. With the price of
steel and
other materials, most of us are not going to be machining large chunks of metal
very
often.
Besides the X3 is a nice platform for mach3 fwih. Can you pick it up and save
on freight?

Part of the reason I decided on H-F is their "in-store special order"
program . No shipping charge . 999 isn't a bad price , but 849 leaves more
money for tooling ...

The coupons have been a bit scarce lately. I haven't seen a 20% for a
while, but 15% coupons still show up occasionally on the flyers in the
mail, and once in a great while in one of the emails. Make sure you're
on the lists and just wait I guess.
