[QUOTE="3sixbits, post: 73245, member: 3661"] LongTooth: Why retire and leave heaven? Become "chipman" for one or two days a week after hours machine time! You do not want to have to make your own brass. Why do you want to start facing that kind of disappointment in your golden years? I would focus on getting together machine tools for the home shop. NC is nice for production runs, but for one offs why bother? The water torch is another deal all together, I would hate to loose the use if I had access to one. Look around for a good 7" shaper they can be had nicely tooled fairly cheap. Beats the heck out of the broach. Wire edm? Another reason not to walk away into retirement if that shop has one. Have they got an inside heat treat shop? I would ask them if I could part time it for some tool time. Just my two cents. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
