    hey now, i barely know what a knee mill is and now your throwing in a tree? im thinking i need to get out one of my three chain saws. you machinists are killing me.lol cool deal on the R8 stuff though. atleast that saves me a few bucks. and i know a place were they sell tooling for $3.00 a pound. surrplus stuff but you have to search through it. but its got some freshly sharpened stuff in there with the wax or whatever that stuff is, still on it. i cant wait to finally get a machine that actually has some precision to it. not like my early fifties mill i picked up for $50. basically a glorified drill press with a moving table. but im having fun with it.

    A Tree will mill a knee if you can figure out how to hold it. LOL.
    A Tree (brand) mill uses a different collet because they are quick change. But the standard for most everything is R-8 which is the Bridgeport standard and most mills are "copys" of the Bridgeport. I just threw that tree info in just in case it might help somebody shopping down the road.
