Is this the machine that is going to turn out all of your new wheels? If so, will you turn the OD of the wheel blank on the lathe and then finish it off in the mill? Looks like fun.

Rich , I out grew that tiag the minute i set it up
I should have stuck with my gut instinct
well I had to unload some stuff to get this size . but it is worth it the only part of the wheel process being done on here is holes and taping I'm now looking to get a cnc tool room lathe next that will take the bar size I use . I got a 150 wheels @ the drill press right now and only finished drilling the hubs . At the amount I'm doing it's getting old doing it by hand . once the mill is going , I'll be making stuff I've been trying to get to for a while .

Hopefully, the mill uses R-8 tooling. Lots of things out there for it if so. You make me green also as I have no room for anything that big
