Thats the only milling I can think of that one would need a tilting
head for..and the BP sure as hell isnt going to make those kinds of
cuts.

So you're saying that the ONLY angled cut anyone would ever need to make
is on material that heavy, or with cuts that aggressive?

C'mon, Gunner. *Have you never had a piece of material that sat flat on
the bed but required an angled surface on top? *If you have, envision a
shop duty where you have to do dozens of them with dozens of different
angles.

Which would you prefer -- setting up the sine plate and clamping for
every different setup, or just tilting the head to the desired angle and
'doing it'?

I understand that if I need a really _precise_ angle, I'm going with the
sine plate every time. *But if I have a bunch of stuff where +-1/10
degree ain't gonna matter, I want to tilt the head.

Lloyd, I know you're very talented and I know you're a good manual
machinist. I don't care what you think of me or what you have said
about me. What I just stated about you being a good manual machinist
in undeniable fact. Your posts prove this over and over just like
Precision Machinist's do.

I just have two questions for you:

When are you going to wake the **** up and realize that Wieber is no
machinist and doesn't have enough basic real world machining
experience?

Why are you and I the only one's calling Wieber out on his massive
stupidity for his claim of not needing to tilt the head and how often
it's done?

Granted, a few others tiptoed around the subject but they refused to
go directly after Wieber's massive lack or real world machining
knowledge. It's obvious Wieber has never worked on complex castings or
complex hog outs. That so few people will directly confront Wieber
shows how ****ed up this newsgroup is when it comes to metalworking.
That's got to change. Wieber has destroyed this group when it comes to
metalworking and the cult of idiots that Wieber attracts don't help
either.
