Larger machine tool discussions...

[lincpimp]

Ok, so spurred by redshift (Jason?) I want this thread to deal with shop machines that are versatile, affordable, desireable? (do I make you randy!) and just plain nuts!

I am referrring to mills, lathes, drill presses, and other stuff you have or want in your workshop!

Any idea or questions are more than welsome, I want this to be a brainstorming area to discuss or introduce stuff like this. I am looking to get a combo mill/lathe to get a feel for simple machining.

Redshift pointed this guy out: http://grizzly.com/products/Combo-La...tachment/G0516

Looks good to me, but maybe the more experience users could throw in their thoughts...

Also looking at this: http://www.grizzly.com/products/12-S...ll-Press/G7948

I need a good drill press, and this looks sturdy and in my price range... Plus free shipping (gotta love that!)
