What sort of projects do you have in mind?
Mayhem.
There are several projects I would like to build that use round bar stock.
One project I will be doing is taking some round 1/2" bar and turning it down on one end to make pins for a building fixture of an aircraft my friend is starting to build.
All the pins need to be the exact same length. So with the collets and the stop installed it should be a fairly easy job. But he also needs 1500 of these pins. So I want a set up that is easy to work with.
