Index 40H

[TomG]

I've used a lot of Index mills and they are solid machines. The only thing I would suggest keeping in the back of your mind is that they have wimpy drawbars and don't seem to hold R8 tooling very tightly, so larger end mills can and do walk out of the collet. Many Index mills I've seen have track marks on the table as a result. The solution is to use Weldon type holders for larger end mills, or leave yourself some extra stock on heavy cuts, just in case.
