=== Authorization ===
= Major Specs =
While this machine has '''metric''' lead screws and handwheels, it is dimensioned in inches. It's OK, just don't try to land it on Mars.
: '''lathe''' : 3.5" swing, 8" between centers, or 4.75" swing single-ended with headstock spacer; 1/4" square tooling
: '''mill''' : 6.25" Z travel, 4.25" crosslide travel, 2.25" throat (3.5" with spacer); 3/8" tool holder
: '''power''' : 60W DC motor with speed control
: '''speed''' : 70-2800 rpm or 35-1400 rpm
