I don't know about mililng rotors out with that thing. You gotta be pretty damn good to follow the triangular curve to take material out.

Awesome! Let us know when you get good at milling rotors.

Coincidentally, I picked up a free drill press (used) this weekend. Score!

There was a bridgeport ram and turrent mill (used) at an auction for 1200 CDN. I didn't pick it up though, i was looking for a TIG welder but they didn't have one.

I don't believe that's actually yours. Mill 'STEVE' into a piece of steel.
