I'm taking a Basic Machining class and i know i will need a project towards the end. So far i'm thinking a shift ****, don't know i want yet or the design, but i imagine that won't take very long. What do yall think, throw me some ideas.

is it a cnc project or a manual milling thing?

if its basic machining it may not even be a mill, but youde be able to turn a simple **** on a lathe

i know you can, but if its a cnc, you can make something so much more badass then a shift ****. thats like a 2 hour thing at most

^ That's what i'm saying. An end of day project at best. It's only drill press, lathe, and bridgeport mills. There are CNC's in the building, maybe if i get on the teachers good side i could use it for something here and there but yeah probably not that much

I just finished a class like that. I made a letter opener. A friend of mine was making a knife, but he screwed up the handle, so we turned it into a shift ****. There is alot that can be done with a mill and lathe.

^ I can say from personal experience you wont ever regret the welding. I've gotten a lot of jobs from the class i took and also a ton of home projects.
