tfreer85 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Oh that is CLEAN!!!! I want one of those so bad. Nice tool too, though the name had me a little worried. Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Nice to see another machinist here. I can't tell from the photos, is it a Bridgie, Sharp, Acer, Wells Index, Alliant? The next thing you need to do is install a cnc retrofit kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'll start with my favorite... While nothing I own holds a candle to that (very nice, Ron), I like minor tools of destruction: lineman's pliers (good for ripping the crap out of things), small sledge (any sledge, baby!), and a 15" Crescent wrench (large enough to punish any nut or bolt).

Administrators RTz Posted November 21, 2006 Author Administrators Share Posted November 21, 2006 Davy, Like they say... its not in the size, but how you USE it. Guy's smarter than me do more, with less. But, I really like my tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks Yasin, That is a different kind of tool, but since you asked ... WOW RON!!!

HoustonZ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Aren't we all hobbiests? It's easy, relatively speaking. Heckuva lot simplier then rebuilding engines I think. Some DC servo motors, glass rotary encoders, power supply, Gecko drivers, wires, plugs, pulleys, and you're in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're seriously in the market try s14.net. Be prepared for um, coarse-ness. Good bunch of guy's, but better have yer wits about you... HZ is a walk in the park My E30 has the following mods... E36 M3 rack, GC Koni SA's, 600/750 Coil-overs, GC camber/caster plates, Lollipops, Re-machined diff. ramps, a bit of tuning, and misc. crud.

It haunts me to this day. Maybe one day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennysgreen280zt Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 This what I run at work. I would call it a machine more than a tool, but its still neat. Here is my newest purchase. the only bad part about buying a cart or box is having to buy things to fill it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
