It definitely looks a capable machine, I look forward to seeing some more of the workpieces you make with it. Stevie btw, It's a good idea to get in the habit of removing the chuck tool after using it _________________ "Who Dares Wins" - SAS 22nd Regiment Hereford.

It's less expensive than to fix my old lathe.. Habor Frieght has them for around $500.00 Let me know how it does before I pull the trigger on buying one in about a month.

Get a rotory table for your curves & Indexing... $100 through Harbor Freight... or $125 through little machine shop... Make a tool rest and a sharp Live End & you can turn wood on it too... Milling hard wood is just as fun. Just go slow with the big bits... This fore stock was done 100% with my milling attachment & router bits. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Great for locating and milling on the drill press. They are a littlel heaver duty and work great if you have enough depth on your drill press. The 6", has to mount, off set on mine to clear the post. TheY sit lower on the drill press than the Milling Vise, which allows me to work on larger pices. I bougt the 4" on e-bay for $0.99 + $25 shipping...
