Edi,
Yes I have the castings. I have been working on some of the small brass parts. So you think I'd be able to do the milling of the block on my lathe with a milling attachment?
i am also wondering how well the milling attachment would work on a 7 x 16 lathe. i have the pee wee v4 castings and i am wondering if i would be able to do the milling of the block, oil pan, and heads on this set up
All I can say is WOW :o
I have so much to learn my head is spinning. thanks for all the references and suggestions guys.

Thanks guys I appreciate all the replys. I have a walk-in basement so it really wont be a problem setting up shop. I am completely new to this hobby so I have a-lot to learn yet. I think I will defiantly go with separate machines but now Ill need to figure out what brand to buy. I still have...
Niels Abildgaard,
space is not an issue. I will be setting up my shop in my basement. I'm just not sure if a combo lathe and mill would be better than the standalone units. I just don't want to buy the wrong machines.
hello,
I am new here and I am wanting to buy a lathe and a mill and would love to hear your thoughts. What would be better for a beginner like me a lathe and mill combo or standalone machines. I have never used either machine before but I am very interested in building a model engine. Thank...
