Re: Uses of a Machine Shop and Equipment
We use our lathe to make shafts for our custom gearboxes, intakes, and elevator roller assemblies this year. The lathe was only really necessary to cut the grooves for retaining rings. We used a mill to make our elevator rails (which we could have used a drill press for) and our intakes, which had weight reduction hole patterns and slots for the motor to mount to so it was easier to tension chain. I can upload pictures or CAD files of the parts later today.
