Really enjoyed your pocasts! I am just getting into machining (and by that I mean I know little about it.) but I still found your podcast interesting and helpful. Great interview and I appreciate Stefan's ideas about Chinese mills etc. being a good platform to build on. I also appreciated Stefan's constraints when buying tools as I have those same constraints (stairs to basement with hard 90 degree turn) as I have my woodshop in the detached garage. Thanks again! I am going to listen to them all and chekc out youtube etc.
