I have just been to a trade show here in melboure australia. I was ammased at the ammount of cheap mannual machines that was on offer. a reasonable size lathe and mill can be had for arround $10 000 ea brand new. basic tooling wasnt that expensive, for a reasonable sized company we are not talking big dollars it wont take huge cuts and live to long but with care they wont fall apart. I have not had nc exp but most jobbing shop still have manuals too. i think these would be a exelent place to start.
BTW..... have some great glossy mags to show the boss
Mmmmmmmm cnc lathe look what i could do with this boss!!!!
can i have one can i can i pleeeeeese!
(probably tell me to bugger off and stop dreaming)
