There are a couple of great video's up on You Tube, in addition to Tom's. :)
"That lazy Machinist" is Marc Lecuyer on Utube.

I'd still like to add a heat treat oven and surface grinder to my shop, so it is on the to-do list.
Local shop had an open house Saturday, with Tormach demo's. Their PSG (Personal Surface Grinder) is a 612 machine, and looks in line for a small shop. They will be adding a "belt sander attachment" for the knife making guys, but what I liked was being able to set it and let it run (x & y are automatic, you adjust the Z down.... of course I'm thinking milling machine, but you get the idea). Often I set my mill and lathe on fine power feed for smooth finishes, so a semi-automatic grinder fits into that scheme of being in the shop, but not having to spin wheels non-strop.
