    My main machine. Upgraded stealth with new vise and dampening.

    Put this little machine together a few months back and It works perfect.
    Cost me $40 shipped for the vise and dampening bearing.
    The swing is 3.5mm. I use this all day and absolutely love it.
    Flame me if you want, but for the price this thing runs better than any of my $600 machines.
    Had to modify the dampening just a hair to fit on the stealth. Took me 5 mins with a drill bit.
    If you dont like the 3.5mm swing you can attach the dampening to any of the stealth's bearings.
    New vise eliminates rubber bands so I'm able to turn the volts down a hair and I bet I get longer life out of the motor.
