CNC Milling and Lathe Equipment

This was on my local Des Moines, IA Craigslist, if I had the time or need I'd buy it a heartbeat as it is a bargain.

Make somebody a nice start in CNC, but jumping into running a CNC lathe and or mill is not like climbing on a tractor and learning how to operate the FEL. However it can be just as rewarding as leveling a garage floor or clearing a wooded lot. Making parts with CNC can also be as frustrating as trying to trace down an electrical problem or a hydraulic problem that only happens sometimes, with no pattern to it. Basically, not for the faint at heart unless you already have a little experience or are a fast learner.

Kinda small, but seems like a fair price.

I dont know what the dude selling this stuff was doing for sure but looks like you could make some nice home made silencers with that set up.

You can make silencers with a drill press and an ink pen. All you have to do is use the ink pen to fill out the proper paperwork, and the drill press to make the parts.
