Any thoughts on this? http://www.harborfreight.com/multipurpose-machine-5980.html I personally think that a seperate mill and lathe are better but your thoughts are welcome... ;D

Although it has already been said,it is worth it to repeat, ALWAYS and I do mena ALWAYS wear safety glasses. Sunglasses,reading,or other glasses don't do! Always wear safety glasses. I'm big on safety glasses cause my uncle lost and eye,cause he wasn't wearing safety glasses. EB

Very cool. Good work ;D. (I agree with Carl,I just can't find words.....) EB
