    I have a Harbor Freight Mill and a Grizzly lathe, the poll will be skewed since there isn't a way to add both...

    I have an incomplete mill not yet functioning, I guess I don't fully fit the poll yet either.

    I'm with Eric except I don't have a full machine shop like he does. Just a Lathe and a Mill Bench Top Class. Still buying stuff though.

    Actually one of these would be nice to add to your Collection of nice Machinery Eric.

    Only use em at work... small lathe and big mill and CND Diamond turning lathe too.
    I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
