I bought a MILL! | Little Machine Shop 6450

- So I bought a new mill for the home shop! I've been searching for the past few months to find one that is the right size for my house. I plan on using it for car and house projects where machining is required. I ended up purchasing, the LMS 6450, Premium Tool Kit, and the Base.
With the quality of aftermarket parts today, I needed a way to make modifications to what is purchased. Probably 25% of the parts that I am purchasing for my cars do not fit "correctly" and need to be modified to make fit. With this tool, I can finally do that.
I've already been using it in the background in a few of my videos. Mainly installing the trunk on the GTM and installing the hood on the Factory Five GTM.

Just found your channel, very cool. Just remember you can make most of the tooling you are going to need with the very machine your buying them for! Let your inner cheap skate win, with some reading and indicators to double check setup is accurate you'll save thousands on tools.
Thanks! That's a good route to go I think for me. Learn and get more experience with the mill while building my own tools. Any good suggestions to start?
That machine is so cool. It's perfect for a hobbyist, perfect to make all kinds of custom parts for the car. I want one!! :)
I'm really excited to have it. A lot to learn on how to use it. I've been watching lots of different channels on cool things you can make. Of course most of mine will be car related, but still!
That's awesome! My work has one, so I have access to it when needed. 👍
That’s not a bad deal at all!
Incredible video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible Labor Day weekend. Much love and RESPECT brother
Much appreciated Tim. Hope you have a great holiday as well! Take it easy.
Mills are definitely handy!!! 👍👍👍
I’ve been using it any chance I get! Trying to get more familiar with it.
Nice Mill! That's a awesome tool to have!👍
Thanks Mitch! It definitely is. I’ve wanted one since I used one in college and I am excited to finally get my own!
Measuring tools good sir - caliper and dial/test indicators. Get a deburring tool (I like the Noga ones), and countersinks.
Nice to see it's R8 though, will make finding used tooling super easy.
An R8 is exactly what I was looking for. I do have a set of good calipers, but need to get the test indicators. I'll pick up some Noga deburring tools. I heard they also make good dial indicator arm setups as well. Thanks for letting me know!
@@SmackeysGarage Yes, the Noga indicator holders are awesome! I have two, one is a mag base with single knob lock, the other is just an arm that can go in the spindle (via collet) for tramming. Can get model numbers if you need.
The deburring tool is relatively inexpensive but nice for taking sharp edges off freshly milled parts.
@@SmackeysGarageoh, and get an edge finder or two as well...good for centering up with the DRO 1/2 function.
@@SomeGuysGarage I did get that in the premium toolkit. It’s a really interesting tool! Watched some videos on how to use it
Very cool and useful!
Yes it definitely is!
I'm excited too. Now I know where to send my parts or special requests. 😅
Haha. Can't guarantee they will come out great!
Nice I need a shop so I can get some more heavy duty tools like this
Yes you do!
Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice mill
Thanks! Appreciate you subscribing! The mill was probably one of my favorite purchases last year.
Just buy what you need as you need it, believe me it will soon mount up!
Yea that is the way to do it. I’ve been picking up tools as I need them.
You owned it for 5 months now, what are your thoughts on the 6450?
I really like it overall. It's perfect for my small hobby space. I use it about once every two weeks for a milling operation since I'm working on cars constantly. It is very easy to use and very easy to maintain. Most of the work I've been doing is in aluminum, but I've cut steel and have had no issues with it.
The only downside I've seen to it is being a smaller mill, there isn't a significant amount of room for a long drill bit between the chuck and the part when a part is in the large vice. There have been a few times where I had to move the table to get a drill bit in, and then move it back. Annoying sometimes, but it is only with large long drill bits.
What's the size of the biggest part that can be milled here specificaly y axis. appreciate your respone :)
I can check it out for you this weekend. If I forget, just post another comment.
great investment lots of fun. my turn is coming
You'll love it. I've been using it a lot more in the recent videos. I had a battery tray that wouldn't fit on the GTM that I had to channel out to make room for rivets. While it was a simple task, the mill made it so much easier.
A rotary table
Yea. That is probably going to be my next purchases. Definitely would have helped on a few projects I did recently.
No cnc motor control for all axis = No Care
Hard to find a CNC motor control for this price!
When I see people using WD40 as lubricant then I can't take them serious anymore 😂. People that use WD40 like this are morronic Clowns in my eyes 🤡your opinion about this machine lost every meaning at that point to me🤣
It’s all I had on hand and I wanted to test it out. WD40 works fine on aluminum. You’ll be happy to know I now have a proper cutting fluid!
@@SmackeysGarageWD works just fine. In the old days we used water soluble oil and a mister. Works good on most materials.
Icebluescorpion is the clown in this thread!🤣
