LOL it deffonitly wont be a 15 minute job!

If you plan on machining any kind of hard metal, other then aluminum, then a milling machine is needed. A drill press can get you buy for a little while, with ok results, but I am sure that Gone_fishin will concure with me when I say, there is no way you would want to make more then just a few. Plus, a drill presses bearings are designed for downward applied force, not side preassure.

I have seen some good sized manual milling machines for 500 to 900 $$$$.

But if you want to go CNC. then expect to pay lots more.

Good Work Fishin. I really like to see how this thing works. Its a great idea.
