just a note to say hello and let you know what my interests are. i am mainly interested in the "mini" type of stuff. i have purchased a small 5X7 combination mill/lathe (bolton), no idea how to use it yet and am currently looking for a roland mdx-15 (new or used). i belong to another forum for my car hobby and i find this is a great way to share knowledge and resources for people with common interests. see you all around.....
