I have a small CNC mill that I bought from someone else who did the conversion. I ended up redoing all of the wiring and upgraded some of the electronics, along with the computer. I also designed and built a new stand with a enclosure. All 3 axis are servo controlled, and the main controller is from Centroid.
I also have a 500x700 60 watt laser cutter from china, which I use to cut cardboard and wood prototype parts out. I’ve also cut some delrin parts on it, and made some trophys.
As for non CNC tools, I have a Millermatic 211 mig welder, it was my first real welder. A Primeweld Tig 225X, which I have been very happy with so far. A Quicny 60 gallon air compressor. And a Swag offroad 20 ton finger press brake.
I have spent the past month completely rearranging my garage, making room for a bigger welding table, and a crossfire table.
I can’t wait for my crossfire, which should be shipping next month.
Doing well plasma cut four Harley style bar shield $#!t paper holders last night and powder coated then tonight. busy all the time and getting $#!t done.

Building a heavy engine stand currently, using the plasma table is making it super nice.
I have an end mill and lathe tool problem. They are everywhere. Auctions and Facebook market place are my nemesis! About to build a bigger shop to hold it all and my pulling tractor hopefully.

I did have to build an additional shop just for the metal working stuff, I outgrew the old arch building, and the new shop is insulated! A key feature at 7200 ft.
I admit a bit of a tool addiction, but I’d just spend the money on beer so why not!

I really like the Rat Rod. Must resist trying to build my own.
