I was getting some feedback from Lloyd Sponenburgh (spelling) earlier
today over on the CamBam forums. He's still around on-line, but he gave
up on this group due to the high signal to noise ratio. I guess he did check back in once just after we started getting slammed by the Thailand spammers pounding the group, and the server he used didn't filter them out.
He bought a retrofit kit from Centroid for a Bridgeport Series one afew
years ago. Same model Bridgeport as the one I bought recently. I was asking how he liked it now that he's had it a few years. I'm neither
like nor dislike Centroid. I was just asking to round out my knowledge
a little bit for when (if) I get the machine off the trailer and start working on it.
In my efforts to be a little funny I referenced when I bought the Hurco
KMB1 and started calling it Metal Nibbler 3. If I only count "mills"
this is Metal Nibbler 14.

Yes, metal nibbler 12 is a brand new mini mill still in the crate. I
bought it some time ago with the intent to make a video series on making
useful molds with a cheap import bench top manual mini milling machine.
Then life just got to busy. Its still in the crate.
