Yeah, I figured that there was no easy way around this situation... I wasn't planning on mass producing anything, just wanted something that would afford me the convience of a little ghetto'd home "millin and drillin!" Lol! A nice torqued drill press is what I'm going to shoot for and some nice milling bits. Just stuff to fool around with, nothing professional. Mainly the only reason that I would be getting one/doing this is for cooling hobby and some carpentry work etc.
If only the GODs of luck would send me a mini-milling machine! Heh, or the uncooperative stiffs at the machining shop here on campus (ohio state) would help me out! You should see some of the equipement we've got here! CNC, Laser, Carbon rod, Plastic injection molds etc... so nice, SO out of reach! I KNEW I should have gotten machine certified when I had the chance! Then I could work there part time and do a little cooling work on the side. But oh well, the drill press will have to do for now. Me going out and buying a $500-1000 machine just for a hobby, doesn't work! WIsh it did though! Besides, I've seen some "decent" machining done with a press...
