Sometimes I feel like I'm learning machining all over again,
(the correct way) I got my QCTP & accessories in and have been
adjusting to them over from the old lantern style tool holder,
although I was pretty good with the lantern post, these quick
change tools are a lot more fun. I've been looking at nice
machinist mill vises...my the good ones aren't cheap re:Kurt,
😉

Well, I've been pretty busy here in St. Paul In, I've acquired 3
new (to me) pieces of machinery. Here is a Precision Matthews
PM-935TS. in my usual fashion I have performed a few "Quality of
life" improvements on it.

Well, I see you went with the "buy once, cry once" motto and got
a great mill! This should easily last you for several lifetimes
and you'll never outgrow it. Whoever had it before you certainly
didn't use it much as it still looks absolutely brand new.

Yes, I did the buy once, cry once. seems to be the general
opinion re: buying good tooling, I'm very happy with it.

thanks Jim, it's been a very busy time for me. I also tore apart
a South Bend 9" lathe & went all through it...incredible amount
of cleaning & very laborious, that will be my next video.
