Re: My tools and work area
Did you notice the trash can and boards I used for a saw table. I also had to use one of my tool carts and a piece of plywood for a stand for the mill drill but hay it is on wheeles that way I can move it around easy.

Re: My tools and work area
Wow it has been a while since I have visited this thread. Since my last post here I have added a new work bench last fall and yesterday I got some new stuff for the mill.
The new bench. The new tools. Vice! Replacing this POS! Clamp set. And what you can't see is the conversion kit for the mill to make it a true inch table. Before one turn of the crank = .0625 and now one turn = .050 making it much easier to keep track of what you are doing. I have also been using cent bits as I call them to start my holes so I get the hole exactly where I want it. Yes it is a pain to start the hole then change to the drill bit to finish the hole but the final product is a lot nicer. Here is a pic of what I am talking about. Thanks for looking. Travis

Re: My tools and work area
I got home today and found a package on the front porch, my new R8 collet set. Now I should be able to see what my little mill is capable of. Here is a pic of what I got. Sizes 1/8-7/8 in 1/16 intervals.
Thanks for looking. Travis

Re: My tools and work area
Hey Travis it looks very close to my lathe from Micro mark http://www.micromark.com/microlux-7x...athe,9615.html
The tool holder that came with it is about 2 inches square And this is the quick change tool post I have http://www.micromark.com/Quick-Chang...Post,8077.html |

Re: My tools and work area
Nice addition Travis ..I bought that same exact one off a guy on CL last fall ..Im very happy with it ..I did get a 1/2 inch drill chuck but am looking for something smaller to fit in between centers ..I saw that you can get a bed extention thats adaptable for these smaller lathes ..Little machine shop..

Re: My tools and work area
I got my quick change to post and tried it out tonight and I don't see why you would not get one. This just makes the lathe so much better to use.
