I didn't have anything on the shelf, so all I was out was a few busted 1/32" mills and time. Other than buying a brass door kickplate, which turned out to be quite hard on mills, everything else was "found material". I'm pretty cheap, and time (until I fall over the final time) is what I have plenty of, being retired. And it works very well. No worries about a drive belt jumping a cog in the middle of a G33.1 operation thats doing it in a half turn per cycle peck loop.
