Cheers, mountaindew. Your right about certain methods being a little dangerous but it's the only way i could come up with using the tools i have. i'd love a proper mill, that would keep the old digits safe
Thanks man.
I would highly recommend a mill and a lathe, but don't go cheap! I went cheap on the lathe (even though it still cost me a grand) and i constantly feel like throwing it out the window! I get bad vibrations, the tailstock is a b!tch to move, and the cross-slide's not rigid at all unless i tighten the screws to the point i can't even turn the handle! But it get's the job done so i can't complain too much
.
Oh and the SSD holders are collecting dust in the cupboard. The seems where they were glued can be seen under certain light so i decided not to use them (but that was a while ago now).
