Oh yeah forgot something.
we have yet to get this into the shop..when we took all the paper work home we found the floor template for it and we are having a hard time finding a spot to put it..might have to expand the shop a bit..the pictures were taken @ the place we bought it..it's now 11:30 and it's too late to call my pops and get the spindel taper info. as far as the collets thing goes it came with a complete set of collets..the drill chuck doesn't come with the machine dang it!, but I have a drill press for that sort of sloppy work. I already have an Idea for my first project.. I want to make one of these only bigger:
I want to make it about twice that length though and I would like to actually mount a window in the side of it rather than the front. I found this @ onlinemetals.com:

we are looking to buy a boaring head for doing the cylinder houseing work we want to do...my question is how can I make the "heatsink fins" around the outer edge with my machine? I have an indexer that is made to HOLD round objects like pipes...just not sure what I would have to do to get it to cut AROUND this pipe...a lathe would be nice.....maybe I can have that done @ the place I bought the machine(after hours
) any ideas fellers on the side window?
