I didn't buy any of my machines for bike building, I just like to make things. Any use I get out of them for framebuilding is a bonus.

mostly I cut tubes to length on my lathe. When it was built it was a really good lathe, so even in its current crapped out condition it still can make some good parts.

The injury I got working on my bridgeport was stupidity on my part, one of the servo motors wouldn't move and I pushed on the timing belt. It took off, dragging my finger through the timing pulley. Fortunately my reflexes are good enough that I got the finger out before it was too squished, but it still required stitches.

I would like to have a manual mill, but I really don't have room for it.
