After being away from this and selling my equipment due to medical reasons for which I was in misery for over a year, I am in much better health now and trying to get going again.. I got my Grizzly mill back that I converted to 5 axis CNC and is still basically unused.. I have the 4th rotary axis hooked up and ready but do not have a 5th axis yet, but it is already wired and the plug is there for the 5th axis.. I am not sure what I want for the 5th axis yet.. I also have a Grizzly G0463 mill which also belonged to me at one time.. Then I picked up a Jet 1236 lathe that was pretty dirty and did not look too good, so I took it apart and cleaned and painted it and it turns out that it is actually a very nice lathe.. I did put new motor bearings in it because they seemed quite dry.. Everything else was already good.. It has a 3 jaw and 4 jaw chuck, a face plate, steady rest, taper attachment and collet chuck setup.. I have not cleaned up the accessories yet but I will get to them.. I also have an indexing head with chuck and tailstock..
