[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 141508, member: 3048"] Roy, I have used the "Smithy" several times and can honestly say they are Crap [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Unless you are a skilled machinist and can use tricks of the trade to produce "acceptable" results form these machines my advice would be to stay away from them and save yourself the frustration of inconsistant results. Having said that it all depends on the level of accuracy you wish to achieve. If you are looking for top class dimensional accuracy then save your sanity [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] and take your components to a machine shop [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
