LOL C.A.G., Sometimes I look at some of the stuff you guys do and I feel like I spent my youth all wrong!!!! I think Mike Pung and Bill might just be related!!!
I do want a router\lathe that can turn columns. And I believe that I can get lots of people to use columns around the steel beams in their basement. I also want to be able to make 8 foot long molding, surface 8 foot stock, and make up to eight foot round tables. I need an 1800 for a lot less than the $6K that they sold for new before Legacy put them in hibernation. If I had a gun to rob a bank and the space to put the machine, I'd get the money for that monster in Kansas. The only problem is that I don't then you can turn tables.
