Does anyone know a good [elegant] way to connect a stungun ground wire to a spark plug?

If the chamber is metal, and you're using a 1/8" fitting somewhere, then just get a 9.8mm ring crimp connector and attach it. Or tap an M3 somewhere and use a 3.4mm of same.

Looks good and pretty cheap, does it worth?

distance between centres - 125mm
That's pretty tiny, it might be enough for your needs but keep it mind. To give you an idea, if you want to drill a 10mm hole, the cutting part of the bit is 100mm long, so the maximum part length is 25mm.
One of the reasons I went for the sherline is that it is 432mm centre to centre.
500 euro is not quite cheap for this thing...

I think it's too expensive for that lathe, and you may find the space you have between the centers is lacking.

and

They both have the option of a mill (witch I really really want).
The green one looks nicer but more expensive as well, what's the main difference beside look?

I would go for the unimat, austrian made instead of korean

Cool, if I can get the mill+lathe under 1000 euro I should be able to convince my dad

Don't forget to set some money aside for tooling, decent drill bits, cutting tools, taps and dies, files etc.

I know, but big parts first 
the rest I can afford myself.
When I get the machine probably I'll need some teaching from you guys

Emco is a great brand, when machining at school I allways make sure to pick the unimat

Quick question: what's the maximum diameter the unimat lathe jaw can grab?
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2013 12:29 pm
Swing over bed is 92mm
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2013 12:33 pm
Sorry my negligence, but what does what mean? I can put a rod with diameter up to 92mm in the jaw?
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2013 12:37 pm
It means the maximum diameter the lathe can take is 92mm. The chuck itself is 65mm diameter, but the jaws are reversible so you can fit a part larger than the chuck body diameter, probably around 80mm.
