I need to have the hub of a wheel milled down a little bit and some zinc coated spacers made. Anyone have a reputable shop they can recommend for me?

You can use my mill if you want.

Put it in manual mode and it would probably only take a few minutes...

I know this sounds lame, but I've been pretty depressed over the 'no jobs out there' thing. I have other people who need parts and I just can't seem to find the drive to go out into the garage and start making parts.

Perhaps a cup o' tea and some meditation!

If you found the motivation, I would pay you whatever you wanted to help me out :) You are, after all, a perfectionist. that is what I need.

I probably could make money with the machine. It's not a production machine, so the duty cycles could be pretty hard on it if I used it to make money.

Help me OB1!I'll give ya a call. I'm trying to light a fire under my ass and get things rolling with side stuff. Perhaps if I can get enough, it will get me a little farther down the road. This weekend I'm busy finishing up a small remodel. That gets me enough money for another month. After that...:dunno:
