This arrived this morning. 1.5" diameter. Looks good. I'm going to be making some new vise jaws for my bench vise so I'll try it out then.

I think the first one deserves a  You Suck  Simply for having a mill big enough to use one.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts

I'll find out if my mill can handle it. Rotfl

Got a motor that I hope will work as a power feed for the X axis of the mill.

Saturday, the wife and I went to this event that they do every year called the M-15 garage sale.  It's a stretch of highway in Michigan where people that live on or near this highway have a garage sale.  Along the route there are church rummage sales, a VFW or American Legion hall had a flea market, etc.  Anyway, one of the stops we made was a flea market at a church and there was a guy selling off all sorts of general tooling.  I spotted a drill index, kinda rusty and nasty looking, opened it up and it was full except for the tiniest one.  He said they needed sharpening and that he was too lazy to do it.  I got it for $5.  Tonite I dug out the drill doctor, had to watch a couple videos on how to use it since I haven't touched it in a few years, and got them all nice and sharp.

I've been wanting some broaches for a long time, and I finally bit the bullet and got some.  Seller is discount_machine, on eBay.  It pictured a plain wooden box, but the one that showed up is this fancy case as shown:

   

Inside is nice, too:

   

And after just a few minutes with the arbor press, this is the result:

   

Cutters are very sharp, and all the parts appear very well made.  1/2" bushing was a nice slip fit in the 1/2" bore of the part.  Since the bushing and shim are both shorter than the part, I ran it through from both ends.  I am pleased with this purchase, and wish I had gotten it years ago.

Exactly what I said after I bought mine. When you need one they are worth their weight in gold.

I would love to get a set but having no press of any kind would make it useless for me. Bash
