THANKS Rob ...still workin out some Chinese bugs with motor and machine wiring .. not gona officially do any chippen till my elect box is all closed up.. can work in forward tho...... lol... still haven't trammed mill yet or have taken cuts fixed all my collet draw bar issues ..... . than motor crapped out . I have a few ideas for mods that may keep me busy and learning for a while ..

but than no actual work . Than again I need to make some tooling mostly for the lathe. Such as die holders, ball/ rad turner and indexer for workin on my 10" Southbend . Love to make some dials which ill need a fixture for staping engraving graduations. If ya have any ideas for the tooling send it my way . I see you are very well gifted with making tooling . Love to learn from well respected elder of the trade.. Btw after seeing your taper attachment I tried to write you but noticed you had your PM option disabled . Guess ya get allot of fan mail perhaps not all the time for all our silly Q's.lol.... anyways love to learn from your work . Its too bad after all these years I don't have much job shop experience . Now in my late 40's im learning what I missed on my own. Thanks for all the encouragement and your contribution to this forum . Hope ta make ya proud with some tooling . Thumbsup

LOL... as a fellow "auto-didact" (fancy words for self-taught), I can totally relate to that. I figure when the end mill snaps, it's a teachable moment. Hey, next time, remember to put a good tight twist on the quill lock.
