Other than the Noga holding system and the Tapfree the other items aren't new to me. The A-9 cutting oil I've used in the past and it works very well on aluminum. I was skeptical when I first got some but I was amazed at how much easier it was to tap aluminum using a cutting fluid designed for cutting aluminum rather than the normal cutting fluid I use for steel. You only need a very little to make it work well so that can will last me some time.
The Tapfree is the thick stuff that won't drip off of the tap so easily.
The blue Toolmex container has a MT2 bearing steel dead center in it that I'll be using for the spin indexer tailstock I'll be making.
The ruler is a 12" 4R Mitutoyo.
One small center drill and a vise stop that clamps to the vise jaw are at the foreground.
All useful stuff that won't get put on a shelf and forgotten.
