I thought I would let you know about a combination machine called Leinweber UW21 . It would be perfect for OSE. It does milling horizontal boring shaping regular lathe work and so on. See this page for more info http://www.lathes.co.uk/leinweber/ and this page for pics http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/showthread.php/rare-leinweber-combination-machine-149156.html?t=149156 I also had a question how do you all plan to manufacture gears?? Spur gears are relatively simple to helical and herringbones, but do you know any method of manufacturing spiral bevels, pinions etc?? It would be a real new age if the combination machine could make all such essentials acurately. Keep it up guys, all of you deserve a real good round of applause for doing all this.
