Acting as spokesperson for the totally clueless, what does one do with a milling machine and a plasma cutter? The plasma cutter made me say "oooooh" but to fully appreciate it it would help to know its uses. Thanks.

Makes cutting metal a breeze. I am, however, selling it soonOriginally Posted by Gayle
Just don't use it enough to justify having one right now.
I'd suggest going to howstuffworks.com for a good description of how a plasma cutter works.. but let's just say that if you're cutting anything from sheet metal to 1" thick steel on a regular basis, a plasma cutter is your best friend (if you can justify having it.)
Milling machine, in the laymanest layman term I can use, is like a drill press on steroids. It removes material both horizontally and vertically. Mine happens to be CNC (computer controlled), so I just draw up the part, send it to the controlling computer, and it automagically cuts my parts out.
