I just bought a brand new 4000lb Haas MiniMill for Aluminum/Stainless/Titanium rocket parts
So you'll be starting a new company - 'Subtractive Aerospace' ?

Did I miss what the "big Thing" was? I've purchased (& love) the fly away rail guides. But what did you make?
Ah - Thanks ! Possibility of rail guides in light metal?
Haha,
A nosecone that has a spool of very thin, very strong string / line. So, you can record your altitude as well as easily locate it! (No need for messy electronics, programming, paring with Bluetooth, etc..)
You tie one end of this string to the launch pad, then fire off said rocket as per normal procedures. As it ascends, the string is payed out. You then just fish along the string to locate your downed rocket, and the length payed out determines it's altitude..
Note: can also be used to dislodge said rocket from those evil trees!
Bistromath Aerospace.... It's faster than Infinite Improbability Aerospace on a fresh cup of hot tea.Arithmetical Aerospace?
Oof, I hope you've enough ceiling space for your Z axis travel, or you'll be cutting a recessed ceiling around the spindle!
You get the WIPS system with it? The Mini Mills are great little machines, I think you're going to love it. Just be careful taking aggressive cuts with those shell mills, (assuming you went with the stock 6K spindle) 7.5hp sounds like a lot until it's not.
If you're looking for some Mini Mill setup inspiration Adam Demuth seems to have figured out how to get the most out of a garage shop.
