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.
