Re: $1500.00 Machine shop
Does Harbor Freight carry any decent (adequate) tools similar to the list you have from CDCO and Enco? Reason I'm asking is, out team now has a permanent space to call home where we could set up a shop. I'm considering as a fundraiser next year bringing the robot to the local Harbor Freight store and setting up some "wishlist" cards so people could purchase or contribute towards specific items we need. If I could put together the entire list from Harbor Freight and not just the big stuff we might get better response.
