Looks like a decent hobby mill you have there Charlie ..... but you really shouldn't go barefoot in a machine shop! 

Ouch!!!    ;c)

I was just taking pictures.

I didn’t notice that my ugly foot got in the picture until you mentioned it. :)
Charlie got busted...lol
nice looking set-up there Charlie, my Taig mill is smaller than yours, but has served me well for 10+ years (ever since Dean Williams was on the Mamod forum)
I am going with R-8 collets (well that's what the machine takes) I already have them, & a set of C-5 collets. I plan on picking the brains of the machinist on here about many things most likely. I am drooling over so much tooling & buying bits & bobs here & there when I can. (this is fun)
