    Enco (http://www.enco.com) has deals on machines on a regular basis. For the price, the Imports are not bad machines.

     

    There are Machine Tool auctions, where you can pick up a full size Bridgeport, but the weight and size makes transportation and setup a bitch.

     

    Also....I know some schools have been killing their Machine Shop classes. A bud picked up a 30" Southbend for about $750 w/ an ass load of tooling. So....keep your eyes open in the Classifieds :thumbup:

  7. The Columbus Racing Dyno??

    So.....EVERYONE chips in for a Dyno.

     

    Where does it live?

     

    Who operates it?

     

    Who has access to it?

     

    When?

     

    Group things, like this, NEVER work in the long run.

     

    +1 On Dyno Tune. Brian, Howard, and Jeff (Mechanic) have always been good to me. They are GOOD GUYS with a Business Ethic worth telling your friends about :thumbup:

    I have a Homier Mini Mill and Mini Lathe (same thing as the Harbor Freight's....just different).

     

    They have their limitations, but AL is WELL within them.

     

    The machines need a little bit of love and refinement to get them running well, but for the price...they are AWESOME!

     

    BTW - I would stay away from a Combo unit. It does neither Milling, or Lathe Cutting well ;)

    PS - Spend the most you can, and get the largest one you have space for. If you think "I'll never need one that big"....think again.

  21. Negative Equity :(

    I was able to roll ALMOST $10K into a 99 Dakota when it was new.

     

    Yes, I had hella payments, but, after 2 years, what I owed was equal to what it was worth.

     

    I also went upside down into my Marauder. Best decision I EVER made. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

     

    Going into a car negative is not a bad thing, IF you are okay holding onto the car.
