Something I still regret doing.

Seems we typically regret it. _________________ My Critter Gitters .22 Crosman 140 (1955) .177 Crosman G1 (2009) .177 Crosman 1377 (2009) .177 Daisy 880 (2019) BB Daisy Red Ryder (2012) BB Daisy Buck (2019) BB Crosman 1600 (1980) BB Marksman 1010 (1979)   Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2009 9:54 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Hey Kenyon what make is your new toy, I’m quite good at recognising old machine tools but that one of yours beats me?

Regards, Amigo The mini-mill just did not get put on last week’s truck to get shipped to my local HF store. The 4" Rotary/Indexing table was back ordered from Grizzly... The order is now canceled and I found another place to get it in Baton Rouge, LA and should ship today. Keep your fingers crossed... A larger one would be nice... but not in the start up budget. I plan on making a adapter plate and using my old 3" chuck for holding brakes for porting. Most of what I need to get started is all here now. Hold down kit, swivel vise, end mills, end mill holders, collets, etc… _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...
