I'd just like to point out that symmetry has been maintained... :sleep:

I really think you need to add a titanium for yourself....you know....maintaining symmetry and all :D

I'd like to, my brother. I really would. You know I only keep the ones that have a slight "issue"... :oops:

'member,...my 6061 has a slightly oversized battery hole, and my 7075 has the chamfer around the top of the body, and under the cap, making the seem extremely visible... :facepalm:

I'm good with factory seconds, though. :)

I'll just hafta be patient and maybe sooner or later tragedy will strike while finishing out an SS and/or Ti..... :ohmy:

Gonna go knock on a pile o' wood now.... :unsure:

Haha will do! It's going to be really tough, like actually.

I just told this story to Corey (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!) in PM, but I have to share it here.

So I'm packing up my CC and off in the distance I hear something. Now, I live in a city, but it's not very large, which made this all the more hysterical. As I am lamenting having to send her back, and taping up the box, a lone trumpet player was playing taps.

I swear to God :lol

Also, recycle your packaging people!

Some of you will recognize this :D

Ingenious, really.

EDIT: my ending rant was supposed to highlight the beeman's work, but I think it came off as self righteous instead :p

Anyway, go Peter! :lol:

Since I posted that, 2 minutes ago, I have tried to take a toot of my mod thrice, each time putting a thumb (once) and pointer finger (twice) on the top of the Poobox :facepalm:
Been there. Not with a poobox, but been there.

Most folks'll tell ya to get two stand alone machines, if you want to mill, and turn..... I tend to agree with that, especially if you'll be using the machines a lot, and crankin' out lots o' parts. However, you can do a lot of really cool stuff with that setup. :thumb:

That is a pretty large machine, though. It's actually bigger than my new lathe. That, and the fact that it's 500 pounds.....You just wanna make sure you have the room for it, and a really solid base to set it on. :)

I've got a 15' X 30' shop in the back with a garage door on the front, room and a solid base are not a problem ;)

Im certainly not looking to go into mass production and would definately be open to less expensive options (if I were to fall down this here rabbit hole).


I thought of mill/turn caps or drip tips made out of ultem or delrin. So I think a smaller lathe is able to do the job as well?

I have a much easier time turning small items on a small lathe than I do my large lathe. I have not turned ultem or delrin, though.
