Re: Mobile Machine Shop Equipment for new Hawaii Regional
Sanddrag, good suggestion about the press and broach set. Don't see how I missed that one, especially when it gets used a lot in our school shop.

Cory, thank you for the detailed list. Yes, I certainly would appreciate some additional pictures. Would be great to show the rest of the Regional Planning Committee. At this point, I think your shop is the best model we can follow. Could you also take a picture of the outside of the trailer? I guess the square column dovetail mill drill is the way to go. You're right, not too many lathes in between 9" and 13". Grizzly has a few, so I'll take a closer look at these.

Yodameister, thanks for the headstart.

I'm really pushing hard for a mobile shop so your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Like I said, we can always use the University's shop for harder fixes, but there is nothing like having some machining capabilities in the venue itself.
