The truth about millmakers can be a bit of an eye opener. The reality is this though. The only ORIGINAL millmakers that were true to the millmaking game were RRC and Gambler and curious. Two of the best known ones. The follow ups from these either bought and copied their entire mills or copied substantial parts of it. In todays climate, with all these high tech cnc shops and plasma cad type engineering outfits, making a mill for a fraction of the price isnt rocket science. Its whether you are willing to invest the time of foreshight into developing a mill.
