Ok Ken,
along the lines and thinking with Ed my machine is a granite 1340 from
smithy, yes a 3in1 so taking into account the inherent weaknesses of the machine and the fact it only weighs about 1000lbs with the 8" rt on it.
What would you suggest for tooling both lathe and mill keep in mind money is a factor. ( one of the reasons for a 3in1 )
Thank's
Jerry.
P.S. I do push it hard stainless,ar plate and what ever come's up.
