@rodp if I had a machine shop in my back yard I'd probably do the same. But I don't lol I don't even have a welder or oxy/acetylene in my shop.

Yeah but you know how that works, get the lathe and the next thing I'll get the Bridgeport mill, then next thing ya know I have a whole machine shop and don't know what to do with it lol.

I did at one time have a little table top CNC mill, that thing was wicked I learned a lot with it, bit of a steep learning curve too. I sold it because it was really too small to do anything with, but I had my fun with it. Sherline 5400 I think it was.

I've got a table top mill here at home, but not cnc as I'd never be able to work it. lol. The one I have at work is some german make, nice one though. When using it for drilling it will put a 2" drill through steel without breaking sweat.

I'm no machinist, but I can work them. You'd soon pick up using any machine Mac, it's not working them that causes problems, it's over working them that does it. Anyone with mechanical sympathy can get away with using most machines.

Now go buy that lathe, you know you need it lol
