Default Re: Serious Bidness

My bad, I should have updated this sooner. I ended up finding a Grizzly G4003G 12x36 lathe locally for half the price of a new one. It's not as nice as other's I was considering but hopefully it will last long enough until I can save for a more precise machine. I really could have used this thing when I was building my motorcycle a year ago. It's been very nice churning out parts instead of painfully waiting for the Taig to shave off microscopic amounts of material. Powerfeed is sure nice to have as well

Thanks to those that offered help. I will begin the search for the Mill once I modify the shop this fall. (Anyone that wants a sidecar or hotrod, lemme know)
