For the gun stuff, I am looking at machining an AR carrier, 1911 slide work, whatever small widgets come to mind, etc. Any other misc ideas that come to mind.
On the car stuff, I borrowed the neighbor's 9X42 Bridgeport to mill an intake and plenum down for clearance purposes. Wouldn't be able to do that on the Sherline.
Have used the drill press in the garage with a milling vise to make a thermostat housing. Final product turned out nice, but would have been a lot easier on a real mill. Have made some clearance cuts on a throttle body.
I was wanting to get rid of the drill press and put a mill in its place. I am limited to a 50" max depth for floor space. I know a bigger table would be great, and I would spring for a bigger mill if I could find a way to shoehorn it into the garage. Not going to happen though. Seems like the Asian mills are the only options in this size range.
