Is Your Mill for Hobby or Profit? Show Us Your Parts!

Post by Mid Day Machining »

I use my Dyna-Mites primarily for hobby use. I race remote control model gasoline powered boats, and I will soon be into gasoline powered cars. I make most of the running gear for my boats, but I occasionally take a job that pays some money.

That's true, but what do you make on yours. I showed you mine, show us yours.
