    Spending money I don't have

    Well I just had this dropped off today. Was made available from the guy I do work for on the side, and I couldn't pass it up. 11x36, 2hp, variable speed. Should do most anything I need to do for this auto stuff.

    and I bought this a couple of months ago, it's almost paid off.

    Now I just have to buy a panelboard, breakers, wire, etc. and get them wired up. More money I don't have.

    and you can build those hybrid distributors with those 2 pieces of equiptment! Actually just ths lathe, but with the millport you can make injector holes in an intake for MPFI !

    I've been thinking of getting a sheetmetal brake to make ECM brackets, like in attached PDF...

    At least you spent the money on things that are useful, and could be used to make money. Excellent purchases!

    Well the mill is finally paid off along with 2/3 of the lathe, I got them wired up, and making chips, well the mill is. I had to buy a vise for the mill, and I still need to get a hold down set for it, and a toolpost and tools for the lathe, and collets, and .........soon though.
