Hell yes if the price is right.

Wow just Wow. My torch cutting skills have gone way down in the last 25 years but even at my peak cutting just about every day I could/would not even think about trying that. Mad skills. I did make a real nice 2 inch cut on some 1" at fabtech last week.

Just ran one at FabTech last week, it is a good machine. stable arc in all modes. I think the price point is to high.

Where can I put my paws on them in person?

These guys are right on, Also in chilly MN a bit further north and no need for a 2nd heat source. I have been known to shut the system down when i need to have the door open for longer periods and once the door is shut the temp is right back up in a matter of minutes. I keep my shop at 60 to 65.

I mostly like everything in the shop. The one thing that I would change is to delete the floor drain, with the infloor heat everything evaporates so quickly that it is not needed and I would like a flatter floor. I would also add more outlets in the ceiling, which I will be doing over the...

And there is a huge difference between Code and permitted, I do all my home improvements above code because I like it that way buy pull very few permits for my own stuff.

99.9% of all homes built before last week have unpermitted work in them. In all my years I have never seen a sale or ins claim denied for it, when I do "Hear" about it it is always someones cousins third girlfriends next door neighbors aunt who had it happen.

In, I missed it last year.

I have been reading your threads with interest. IIRC you said that you plan on keeping this property for 30 years, if that is the case then why all the ??? about building for resale? Yes that is important but if I were you I would build what I want/need and not worry so much about what the...

I just picked one of those up a few months back for $15, thought it was cool. haven't done anything with it yet other than move it from place to place in the shop.

I really like this one, I'll pay the shipping if you can stuff it into a flat rate box

You are so far off it isn't even funny, scrap would be the if it didn't work at all. I love how so many here get all high and mighty over anything that isn't 1000's of $$$ and 1000's of pounds. The best machinist I know freely admits that a competent machinist can make good parts on a crappy...

I have a affinity for hand/human powered winches. Here are a couple of videos on the ones I have. and use.

$350 is a good price for all of that and whatever tooling come with. IGN and DrClyde are correct the lathe and the mill are light duty at best but remember they come from this from a different perspective, they need to make a living with the machines they use and time is money so a better...

Lots of Youtube reviews on the Grizzly lathes, people seem to really like them and they work well.

Nope you are not the only one, I make note of the OP's name and scroll through skipping a lot of the others comments.

This ^^^^ They may be designed and engineered in the US which is a good thing, But they are built in China or Taiwan and the Profits go to Hong Kong.

Better get moving my friend, We got 3 inchs of snow so far today and it is still coming down. I'm not to worried most of the outside stuff i needed to do is done and this will melt off, yea mud!!

I like!! What process are you using?
