I have absolutely no idea what I'm really doing but I think I want to buy a mill. I have a shop and lots of tools so I'm not completely unfamiliar with building stuff but I don't know shit about mills. I'm looking for something I can mount on a workbenche. Where is a good place to start or what is a good mill to start with. Also, what would it allow me to do? Like, what is the technical limits with a benchtop mill? What are some of the things most people do with them?

Rigidity is super important when milling, don't think "oh it just holds the part" chatter will break your bits real quick and ruin parts and you'll be paying more in the long run for a cheap ass vise

Welcome to WeekendGunnit™

We are refugees from Reddit seeking autonomy. For those that don't know, a bit of a history lesson as to what and who this community is.

A long time ago, in an internet far far away, there was a forum dedicated to discussion about guns. During the weekdays when normal people were killing time at work, they would make reasonable posts discussing the finer details of guns and their inner workings. On the weekend, the dredges of the gun community would shitpost blurry pictures of common guns, nearly always with one or more bare feet in the background. Along with these lesser quality posts, many of the weekend community would resort to autistic screeching the comments. As a way to give these types of people an outlet for their retardedness while attempting to declutter the main boards, WeekendGunnit was created. After a period of 5 years, the community was 90,000 strong and growing. Around this time, that subreddit started gaining the attention of the communist party of Reddit and they began brigading the subreddit with child porn, concern trolling, leftist propaganda, and general tranny bullshit. The subhuman piles of garbage that make up AHS found favor with the feminine penis of the Reddit admins. They began enforcing arbitrary rules against free speech and were on the brink of forcing a TD style takeover of the moderator team. As a defensive move against the takeover, much the same as howTD.win started, we moved our moderator team here and changed our front page to redirect to where you are now.

This community is dedicated to satire and shitposting. For legal reasons, everything you see on this board is a joke. Everyone here is barely literate and only understands two things: tendies and bobs. If you pander your shitpost to the lowest common denominator of society, you'll fit right in.

Enjoy!

Please note:

All link posts must contain some form of direct gun-relatedness. If you feel your post has been removed even though it was gun related in your mind, please fuck right off. Any and all posts can be removed at moderator discretion, regardless of how gun related. This includes, but is not limited to, weeb shit, furry shit, actual shit, dead people, alive people, real people, and whatever the fuck else we want.

The following rules have been developed over a virtual lifetime of shitposts and autistic comments. If you disregard any of these rules, you're not living the WeekendGunnit lifestyle.

Rule 1913:

Unused rail space is forbidden. Any unused rail space must be filled with the cheapest and most useless accessories you own and/or can find.

The COPPER Rule

All WeekendGunnit™ subscribers are required to harass anyone from armslist et al selling a gun for more than its value until the asking price is lowered to your satisfaction or the seller blocks your emails.

The SILVER Rule

When attending a gun show, all WeekendGunnit subscribers must actively seek out the booth(s) selling various types of dehydrated animal meat and purchase said dried meat. Mods can be bribed with bambi jerky. You don't get anything for it, but you can do it.

The GOLDEN Rule

If you ever come into possession of ammunition for a gun you do not own, you are required to purchase a gun in that caliber.

The PINFIRE Rule

You absolutely must have ammunition available for every caliber gun you own, including collectible firearms and oddball calibers.

The PLATINUM Rule

Spare parts and parts bins are expressly forbidden. Should you find yourself in possession of any spare parts, anything from a barrel to a trigger guard, you are required to build a gun around said part(s).

The METH Rule

Tits or GTFO
