Finally got my lathe up and running.  Total cost for lathe and tooling, $1095.  $5 worth of scrap delrin + 10 mins = front axle sliders :D

Sweet!!   [thumbsup]  Worth every penny IMO.   [beer]

I'd love to have a lathe.

And a welder.

And a scroll saw.

And a sandblaster.

And an anodizing setup.

And a CNC machine.

And...

:P

It is cool enough to buy something and make it fit.  But to buy a machine and make something that does fit, COOL AS HELL.  Nice work!

How about the Ti bolts/ allthread you are going to have to use?  I have noticed your addiction and you surely can't be adding weight with steel.   [evil]
