good example for ya, i had my mk1 barrel machined to my specs at a local machine shop. cost me 1 hour minimum, $80 plus tax. last week i got on a lathe and turned the same thing out in about a half hour. and i dont even know how to use a lathe :lol:

i like my drill press and hack saws :lol:

on that note... something had to be built to perfection 'by hand' before the machine could be built :wink:

and Read up on this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

It will atleast keep you from chugging the thing down every cut, and from burning up drills and lathe toolbits.
