So I'm in the process (thanks to a christmas bonus) of updating my tool selection. I've already got great soldering equipment, dremmel, and drill press. I'm getting a bench grinder, but is there something that I'm not thinking of that will help with machnining aluminum?

It depends on the size of your bonus. You could look for a small tabletop mill, a decent table top on sale will run in the $750-1000 price range(nice ones $1500+), or a lath/mill/drill hobby combo, you can get those for the same price range but they usaly arent of very high quality. Just a few ideas for yaGreat Traders: RogueFactor,Doobie -

Yeah I've been actually toying with the idea of building one. One of my friends was in anaheim said he saw an old bridgeport mill for like $200, he's checking it out for me. If it's good I'll go out and pick that up. Slap on a couple servos and a controller and see if I can convert it to a poor man's cnc.Comment
