kirk, one of my intended markets to persue will be custom automotive parts.
look at how simple these "underdrive" pulleys that all the import kids are
buyin up. $100 plus for half an hour of work on manual machines, seems like
a decent turnout to me. If you can make parts for hobbyist/diy machines and
sell them on places like cnczone or similar (do they even have classifieds?
guess im not too familiar with that place) you might be able to get some
business. I really have no idea where to find production level work, but one
thing you could consider as a side service could be anodizing aluminum.
from googling a bit, it seems it wouldnt be too hard to set up and do. I'm
planning on using my rotary phase converter to turn a 90 amp alternator from
a junked hyundai, should be plenty of current for small batches.
I'm definately looking forward to the suggestions you get.
