What? I was under the impression most people have obsolete CNC mills converted to modern control systems in their garage.

I had a DIY setup that worked OK but somewhat inconsistent. I recently bought the Caswell anodizing kit to step up my results but have not used it yet, the pro quality chemicals are supposed to help make a difference. Still using my ebay power source though. It will pay for its self in two projects because of the shop minimums for anodizing where i live.
