Good skills Grumpy.
Im a machinist by trade and would love to have a few toys at home like this. Im no longer in the trade and its so hard to build a good machine without access to a basic machine. Bit like the chicken before the egg. Im saving my penny's and aiming for a decent mill and lathe one day. My goal would be to convert a manual machine into CNC and still have the option of using it both ways. Sometimes small jobs just aren't worth the code other jobs still require the finesse of a humans touch and feel.
very well done mate
