Great Matt...so we should be expecting chips soon then :). Seriously, with castings, take your time and plan things out..whole different ballgame than bar stock. congrats on getting the new toys though.

Wow, those are big! That is going to be an impressive engine once it is built.

Yes, these things are huge, I like the 6ci but don't like those coke bottle style engines, they are obviously correct but I dont like the aspect ratio! just a personal thing, mau change my mind when see it built abd it will certainly be interesting watching. hear lots of good reviews about PMR and the 1BI seems somewhat of a bargain considering its size too. I think Cotswold heritage do a similar coke bottle type one for reasonable money too

My 2013 wish book came today, and I have them both picked out!

Both are 2hp 220v

Mill has a 9 1/2" x 31 1/2" table with power feed x axis and z axis

Lathe is a 12 x 36 with a gap bed with a 17" swing over the gap.

Outfitted with dro's and shipping about 9k

Hopefully I have good a busy summer this year so they can be sitting in my garage come next fall! ;D

1hand:
Anyone that knows me very well, knows I change my mind a lot and rarely play with in the rules.  While I was looking at them 2 boxes of castings and was thinking how similar the two engines are, and I thought self....you should make a twin!

So after a long thought process "about 10 mins" I got out the cut off wheel and started on the PMR 46ci twin.
