Thanks.
Since it went CNC:

holes in plate for dashboard
steering wheel adapter parts for NRG
mount plate for cruise control with NRG
parts for intake induction valve & airbox backfire blowoff parts
3 different "flanges" for intake: airbox, engine ends, bellmouths inside airbox
adapter/converter plate for throttle body to airbox

Prior to that I used the mill (have had it about 5 years) every so often for something for my telescope, gun parts, model RC car/planes and lately the 818 - milling pipes to fit for strut building, etc. Adding CNC got me two things - more accuracy when parts are made that must fit together, and especially more complex operations and especially X10 where you need to make several of the same thing.
