Hi guys, and thank you in advance for your expertise.
I'm just getting into lathe and mill work (I've done a little on friends machines), but I've just taken a 3 year contract position here on Guam.
My "shop" is 1/2 of a 2 car garage.
I mainly work on firearms, but occasionally small engines as well (no automobile work while I'm here). I definitely need the ability to cut threads.
I think a combo machine is really the only thing that will give me what I want in such a small space, but...
Limited space; everything is a compromise
