So we are fortunate to have all the tooling we could ever need. We also are getting an atlas 12" throat by 30" bed lathe for $900. We should be set and ready to go to do just about all we need for the way we like to build our robots. Hopefully we will be set up soon anyway...

Awesome! Have fun with your new stuff! That's enough tooling to do whetever you want.
You may want to make an adapter to transfer chucks from the atlas to the rotary table, for adding keys and stuff to custom shafts.
