Enco is pretty good about shipping stuff so you shouldn't have to wait too long. So did you go with the 6" or 8" table?

Ed,

I went with the 8" horizontal/vertical version. I agree with the bigger is better as long as I can still get it up on the table some how. 85lb is getting near this guys limit. I should start working out againBig Grin

I also got 2 reamers and a tap for my current project. I have a Rigid 14" bandsaw and broke the mount/adjuster for the upper wheel. They only cost $19 but so many people are breaking them that no one has them in stock and no firm date from the manufacturer when they will be available. They are a cheap pot metal casting (China) with some design flaws that I hope to fix. My version will be made of steel with beefier cross sections in the failure areas. I'll post it up when I am finished.

Still getting used to the idea that I now have the tools to make something like this. Of course, it also has some welding in it so it's not all new territory.
