Anyways - I will be a lathing fool tomorrow - must go to Grainger and get some reaming bits and pieces out tommorrow - and start turning up some miracles ! I need to sell lotsa stuffs to be able to afford this damned thing, peeps - so BUY MY STUFF ! LOL !!! :-) I am pretty hyped up over buying a lathe, as you can tell :D
 





Calm down its just a lathe lol   [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
They do look expensive tho.

Actualy i had no clue what a lathe was until i lookd up about it lol.
"machine tool which spins a block of material to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling"
 
I will (with LOTS of practice !) be able to make my own spacers, and maybe some custom pieces to play with :)
 
Ok, now that you have that, what are you making me? :P

Jay - she not only allowed it, but had to load it into the car ! Kinda hard to lift 89 pounds when I am not supposed to lift over 20 ! LOL NOT that I listen all the time, but you know :P Now before I even plug the thing in, I gotta get me some geeky goggles - I still have PLENTY of MRI's left that have to be done - don;t need metal fragments messing those up !
