mill and rotary table

I think I'll get a big dang mill and rotary table from Harbor freight. I checked out a few mills today. Lots of room for huge adapter plates. The costs were between $800 and $1100. They were singular in their purpose, and monstrous. Maybe I wouldn't need a lathe if I could just widen the diameter of a lovejoy by a hair. Less than a millimeter is enough, since you can choose a diameter that is closest to the outer diameter of the clutch hub spline.
