Some nice additions to your tool supply
I suppose you are finding out the Mill is the cheap part
As you acquire more tooling for it .

Cheers

Some nice tooling there Charlie,  some bought very inexpensively. Well done.

good advertisement for your hardware store -

I like your Emco DB200 with quick change tool holder.

Well said Dennis.

Not only the End Mills; but the Collet Set and the three Machine Vices....so far.

I am sure there is more to come.

And Brass Bar Stock seems to be more expensive than Gold.  Geez.

Thanks Bruce.  Not at your workshop level yet; but, you give me something to aspire to.

Thank you Arnold.

I noticed in your Collection Tour video that you have quite a collection of Emco machines.

The quick tool changer was an eBay purchase.

Thank you Jan.

Always on the lookout for interesting tools.

Now that I have been fully vaccinated, I will be attending more estate/boot/garage sales looking for interesting hand tools.

Thanks Jim.

The large rotating milling vice was an Amazon Purchase.

The T Bolts that came with it don't fit the Mill.  So, I am searching for some that do and/or I am going to mill some down to fit.
