I don't know? Billet Aluminum seems to be a man thing, now if you can figure out how to CNC some girl stuff you may have a chance!Originally Posted by RobertISaar

Nice! I wish I had a mill, and lathe, and a shop to put them in! Oh the jeep and gun parts I could have made over the years, and all the stuff I could make now too....lol
79 Jeep Cherokee, AMC 401, T-18 manual trans, hydroboost, 16197427 MPFI system---the toy
93 Jeep YJ Wrangler, 4.0L, 5 speed, 8.8 rear, homebrew hub conversion and big brakes, hydroboost, 2.5in OME lift, 31x10.50's---the daily driver
99 Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee limited, 4.0L, auto, 2wd, leather and power everything, 99% stock---the long distance highway ride.
Well today was a good day. Last night I went out at around 10PM, and leveled the lathe, took off the back gear cover and made a few adjustments to the geartrain, tweaked the gibs and ways, and got the thing running sweet. Today, I went out to replace the wheel bearings on our '98 Grand Am, and found I need to do the brakes as well. It just so happens that the rotors just barely fit on the lathe. I got one mounted up, the tooling set up and put a nice finish on it. I had to make a trip to Pull and save to get a ABS plug bracket, and pads from Napa on the way, then I came home and turned the other rotor, replaced the tie rod ends, and took it for a drive. Not bad for half a day's work (12 hours).
Bottom line.......I am very happy with this lathe so far.
