Digital readout is awesome to use. It's a must for sure.

Got her up and running. I still need to tram it in the Y direction, in X i got it to within .001" over 10", so I'm pretty happy with that. Y is out about .004, i need to get some shim stock to adjust in that direction.

I think it's probably a bit small for cases, we'll see. For sure though I could fly cut heads, do spring pockets, etc. I got it more though for making various brackets, mounts, etc. I have some suspension projects I've wanted to do for a while that would not be possible with out this machine.

Was thinking of picking one of these up to do bike parts, odd parts, etc.

Aside from full cases, I don't see why it couldn't do most anything VW related...?

Very cool toy!

I know you would be smart enough to put a ratchet and a return spring on there. ;) 8-)
