metalworking on a budget

[Alan B]

Hello,

Just found this site. I'm looking to enhance my metal working capabilities without breaking the bank. Found this looking for plans to make a scissor knurling tool.

I've got a HF 8x12 lathe, Taig lathe, HF Mini mill, LMS mini mill.

Got tired of changing the gears on the 8x12 lathe for every different feed and threading, so I built and added an ELS.
Kept one of the mini mills manual, and converted another one to CNC.

Thanks,

Alan B.

How did the ELS build go?
