All worth it brah so yoy can run everyone over haha shit I haven't posted on here in ages
I like try your 35s so I can tuck tire hahah chee

 

Yoy guys could use so slammed in your daily lives not to kill the vibe

 

did you buy that mill?

SICK.

I've been saving up for a small 7x12 or 7x16 metal lathe.

I had some projects before that could have used one but now I dont have any projects lined up which is why I havent pulled the trigger yet.

 

Hey guys, so I'm finally gonna meet with an af recruiter next week before thanksgiving. Been studying for my asvab for the pass month. Just the afqt sections though. Any advice on what to expect/ask when I go? Super nervous. But excited. We'll see what happens.

 

What do u want to know?

 

Talk to us about jobs BEFORE you pic anything. I'd hate for you to get Crew Chief or something that sucks

 

Thanks guys. Well basically just what happens when you first meet your recruiter. As far as jobs go I'll be sure to ask you guys about that too. First gotta see what I can qualify for.

 

+1

 

soooooo clean brendon

 

Yep, should be here next Monday Now I can make chips at work all day, and at home
Gonna order their mini lathe next. 8.5x16. 1000W brushless motor!

 

Well looks like I may not be getting the front runner rack. Got an email from them saying it was going to cost me an extra $100 just to ship it here. So now I am thinking of just going with the Baja flat rack it's quite a bit cheaper even including shipping

 

dude how much was shipping on that thing?



this is the lathe i was looking at

http://www.micromark.com/microlux-7x16-mini-lathe,9615.html

not 1000w tho only 500w

 

Slammed!!!

 

Check this he got 4 of them for sale $45.00 http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...handles-trailer-harness-tailgate-harness.html

 

Actually I was looking at micro mark too. I like that their hand wheels are .050" per revolution. The little machine shop is .062" or 1/16 per revolution for the bigger one, and .040 for the small one. But now I am thinking about the micro mark again. I may not have room in my shop for the 8.5x16 lathe since it's 3 feet long! Shipping on the mini mill with the tooling package was almost $250.

:edit:
Jeez, the micro mark is 38" long!!!

 

Hmmmm I didnt look into the length lol. maybe I should just settle for a grizzly 7x12. smaller not brushless but should still work ok. but going to be .050" either tho.

for shipping 250 doesnt sound bad at all. Did you have it freight forwarded or did they ship it UPS? I swear when I got a quote for the lathe they wanted like $400.00 shipped!

 

They usually take down info, talk with you a bit, and get you a possessing date eventually(MEPS(where you rake the ASVAB )). If you wanna run the stuff he tells you by us, I'd suggest it. (My recruiter was awesome and told me everything truthfully).

 

Thanks bro. Yeah I'll let you guys know. Just dont like bringing down the taco talk with air force stuff. Haha. But figured might as well since there seems to be a lot of air force guys here. How long does it take until you can take the asvab? Just wanna get it over with.

 

Not sure how they are shipping, but its gonna be delivered to my home.

Check this one out too. Only 27" long

Only .040 per revolution on the hand wheels, but this one has digital hand wheels so you can zero them. Not true DRO because the readings are rotary positioned, it doesn't account for backlash. Just gotta make sure you zero and feed the same direction.

 

Thanks for the lookout. I don't need them bad enough for $45 plus shipping. Was hoping someone local would have for cheap, I've looked at a few online.
