And as for the big CIMs, all things being equal, it's probably sensible to get rid of those somehow.

The 7068 is coming as a donation from one of our near by metalshops and i'll try to get rid of the big cims.

How big is the mammoth? Will you be mechanizing the head? If you do, post some pics, since that sounds really cool!

Yeah, we kinda wanna CNC some stuff and i'll put pics up tomorrow. The mammoth is huge and the head will be moving.
