I don't think anyone mills in the lathe more than me because i don't have a mill. I do a lot less since i have a 7" SBL shaper but anyways here are some of my pics and setups. I use a #3 MT endmill holder picked up on ebay. That was my first setup. Then came the ER40 Collet chuck and the #3 endmill holder barely gets used anymore. I have a plate the goes where my compound used to sit that is the right height to make my bearing fingers for the SBL steady rests. Its all the right height i just change cutters to suit. Anyway enjoy the pics. Any ???? just ask...Bob
