Well ML, I'm now running, some of the time, a vertical CNC lathe with a 10 ft. chuck, big giant stuff.   The rest of the time, a Haas.    A load of overtime, things are going very well, I might be looking at a Multistrada 1200S, or KTM SuperDuke, or most likely, a Tuono V4.   The wifey says, save, save, save, I say, screw that, I'm not going to be able to work like this forever, I want to take advantage right now.   And I just upped my life insurance, so everything should be peachy for her if I drop dead in front of a machine, or do something stupid on a motorcycle (hey fellas, watch this!).

Sounds like fun (except for the Haas part Wink  )

Don't work yourself to death.  It's not worth it.  My part timer has worked like 45 days straight at his regular job.  It'll be years before I see (personally) the sort of income he's getting right now.  I like my weekends.  He doesn't know what those are.

10' chuck huh. . .  I always liked those machines because you could take a big cut (if the operator could stomach it)  I did some insert testing a while back on a wind turbine bearing race.  We were facing at like a .200" depth of cut at a .030 or .033 ipr feed.  It ripped metal Cheesy

Here's a quick vid of that 2" drill in action (and me finding out my rough turn insert was shot towards the end)

Hole is 4" deep

Been making some neat stuff lately.

A few pics-

A finished part sitting on top of the rest that are done on the first side, waiting on the 2nd op.





These parts get split after machining.  I devised a simple fixture to hold them in place while the band saw does the chopping...
