you need some buds. if you don't have any, usually a couple of good ones can be had for merely a few beers. just saying.

green with envy.   would be very cool to make my own parts.

Is that an SX3? I cant tell if its Grizzles 619 or 704. Either way you are in for some fun times.

the X3 not the sx3  (grizzly #463 no digital stuff..) lol honestly I could not justify paying another 400 bucks for some digital wizbangs...

honestly this thing is massive the bed almost looks tiny compared to the rest of the machine I was not expecting the square column to be as massive and thick as it is.... after getting it I would have to say its alot of machine for the price

Well if you ever want some digital wizbangs or just get tired of turning the handles there is lots of support for CNCing those bad boys. Be warned, CNC is to machining like PCP is to airguns.
