Hi, everyone. My name is Ken Mouton, aka p9o1r1sche, from South Carolina. I've been building models since 1994 (the second time around), and machining stuff for about three years now. I make model parts and an occasional bicycle part on my equipment.
I have the infamous Chinese machines, a mini lathe and a micro mill, both from Harbor Fright. I was starting to become bored with modeling until I got the lathe and mill. Now I look forward to making my own parts, knowing they will make my models truly one-of-a-kind. I get +/- 0.001" accuracy using these machines, so they fullfil my needs for modeling very adequately. I also have a rotary table from Little Machine Shop, a bench grinder to make my own cutting tools, a belt sander, a drill press, and all sorts of other measuring and cutting tools. I also have a dedicated tool grinder, but its still in the box, as I have no space in the man-shed to set it up. I'll post some pics of my setup in the other thread soon.
I plan to document more of my machining works will post in this subforum.
