Im looking for opinions, pics, of your milling machine,
as you know i was earlier asking about a lathe, and bought a 9inch SB, that ive taken apart to the nuts and bolts,
to re-furbish, scrub,scrape, degrease, and re-paint,
im having a ball,
my goal is to get a Lathe,milling machine again, and start building small engines, again, after a 4 yr withdrall,
I once bought an old 645 index mill i restored, but sadly its gone now, and ive no room for a large mill,
I know going from a large mill to a small mill will be an experiance,,
so,
tell me what type of mill/mini-mill, you have,
ive 550.00 saved on selling a RC helo, and am going to buy a mini-mill G8689, 624.00 or save for another two months
and buy the G0704, at 1089.00
if i go with the mini, i can buy tooling sooner,
if i go with the 07, itl take longer to get tooled up,
so
for building engines,
talk to me,
I downloaded the plans for the pump-jack, and have my Odds and ends engine ready to be finished,
thanks
