Pics don't do it justice.





The "type" in the S might look like its a different size on one side than the other. It is not -- it is just an optical illusion due to the flash and is the same exact size and depth across.

The lettering isn't colored. It just shows where my mill would cut the metal.

This is the machine I had to rent out to mill my keys on:


Using a bridgeport would have been the same price, so why not use the big beefy one that works faster and is a bit more precise

VF series is great. They are so quick and you can accessorize them to the end - they have a sweet probe system now that automatically sets work offsets, checks tools for wear and breakage, and checks the part when its done. I would love to get a VF-2 SS; it is the high speed machine with faster tool changes and faster rapids.
