Re: Where did your team get its machine tools?

Ok heres our problem. We have lots of tools, but they are all geared toward woodworking. The only metalworking tools we have are a plate shear, a sheet metal bender and a small(but capable) NC lathe. This year we would really like to get a mill, but we do not have enough money. How have other teams gone about asking local businesses to donate unused tools?

Check around with local machine shops, and see if they're replacing any of their equipment. If they're going to junk it, or sell it off, they might give it to you/sell it pretty cheap.
