Who has a Milling Machine and Lathe at home?
I don't have a mill and not sure where to put it if I did. I did get a Southbend 9A sitting on a gunsmith's cabinet, well heeled unit with plenty of accessories including collet setup. so far it has been not only fun, but has bailed me out on a number of jobs where you can stop a second, knock out what you need, get back to work all without having to run around town trying to find a special bolt or bushing etc. and still come home empty handed.
In the photo below you see wheels on the lathe cabinet....these were for when cleaning the machine and going over it during inspection and such. It now resides on very heavy set of adjusting feet so to level the beast.
