If I want to get this up and running before spring I'd have to take it somewhere for paint. It's going to cost more than 100 dollars though. I might have to buy gibs for the X axis, but I'll try lapping what I have now. ~62USD each isn't too bad. I did find a Rohm jaw chuck, but now I'll have to come up with an actuator. I got a 5C adapter with it, but it doesn't fit my machine. It must be for the larger spindles. I'm thinking about building the pneumatic cylinder. The section view in the parts list looks simple enough, but it would still be a lot of work.
