Thank you! I also got a horizontal
End mill holder attactment, think they call it a 90 degree attachment or somethsomething like that. That may come in handy because I'm gonna have to adapt something for the quill return spring that is wore out lol.....can't wait to use it. Its been a few years since I've run a mill......
