Home mill and lathe options? Halfco the go?

[Slides]

There was a bit of this on the pit one, didn't seem to cause any problems...

[Slides]

I'm guessing you could shim the switch striker/rest as well.

Nice. If I don't buy dad's old xj6 back from my cousin when he downsizes I might try to grab something like this.

A few places doing drop in surge tanks with attached feed pump these days. If I was starting again on the rx7 I would go that...

[Slides]

That looks pretty good, I was hoping to seal the floor before buying too much stuff but I think I might grab one....

[Slides]

After not putting a T56 in the rx7 and just going with a gearset which I will probably end up replacing next year I have been trying to go with buy once, cry once with most things. A bit more than I was hoping to spend on a saw but realistically cutting...

[Slides]

Thanks again gents.

[Slides]

I have a wall in the shed two bays deep that will be for lathe/mill/saw so that should be fine.

[Slides]

Yeah thinking of large diameter exhaust or other small section solid stuff to spin on the lathe or cut out on the mill. Had the dropping band saw at a mine site, was pretty good but wasn'tsure about relative cut quality. I'm guessing the answer is high...

[Slides]

Is it worth shelling out for a cold cut circular or band saw or not worth the cost over a regular drop saw? I like the idea of quiet operation and not generating dust and sparks but they seem to be a fair bit more than a drop saw?

[Slides]

Nice

[Slides]

Everything in the system is elastic

[Slides]

Buy one from AES when that shits the bed.

[Slides]

Yeah I have a 25-150mm micrometer set, internal bore set, dial gauge/base & digital calliper. I was fortunate I was still at NMI when I bought the micro set, one of the dimensional team did an informal calibration for me so I have some correction...

[Slides]

Good to know

[Slides]

Thanks gents. I will have a look at a few models. Was expecting to spend the cost of machines on tooling over 6 to 12 months after purchase but I think there is a fair bit of fat in my water tank budget so once that's done I can get all the extras.

[Slides]

Decided to bite the bullet and get a few property improvements and workshop stuff sooner rather than later. Already got the electrician working on range hood, genset, 15a outlets etc, will get earthworks and fabricated bladder gutter ring tanknup on...

[Slides]

Might give one of those oil pumps a go, I want to mount turbo at the base of the firewall in the rx7 if I can.

[Slides]

🤣 at least the case is sturdy.

[Slides]

That add doesn't list the gt3 spec cams and tune?

[Slides]

Most of them seem to have the capability for launch modes and varoius shift modes and stuff from the factory, it's not like bleed circuits on old school torque converter autos, I think provided people can edit them there wouldn't be much you would actually...
