I also have the Sherline Lathe and Milling machine.  I think the
subject is appropriate for this group, and that others are interested.
But we have to have something to talk about.
 
For all of the modellers out there who have dreamed of getting your
own mini lathe or milling machine, the Sherline stuff is the way to
go.  They are not toys.  By the way, buy direct from Sherline in San
Diego.  Micro-Mark doesn't stock them, they "drop ship" them.  And
they charge more than the manufacturer!  I always thought mail-order
was supposed to be cheap!  [Micro Mark is only good if you can't get
something anywhere else.]
 
When you are interested in working on designing and building your own
ideas, there is nothing like having a little machine shop in your
basement.
