Some of the tools I have used to build the 701

Grob 24" I converted to single phase(replaced motor and added gbox). Very useful for airplane building.

South Bend Heavy 10 tool room lathe with taper attachment. Knobs are painted with wife's old nail polish

South Bend 7" shaper.

Smithy BX-2 bench top mill with kit built DRO.

I can hardly imagine building this aircraft with the "minimum tools"
