Yes, I didn't have the 4140 hex stock on hand and couldn't have milled a hex without the drawbar I needed. I don't have heat-treat capabilities, and I didn't have an easy way of measuring what the length should be from the shoulder under the hex to the end of the 7/16-20UNF.
Plus I'm lazy, short on time and just happened to have change left over from the $400 I got for the old Bridgeport. :)
