It was dirt cheap. I made a mounting plate for the       chuck I took off my Harbor Freight lathe.              I don't use it often enough to really say if its any good, but it has       done the jobs I have asked of it. I use the CNC table (from Tormach),       the cheap spin indexers, and even the collet blocks more often. A lot       of the jobs I would have used it for are easier now with other tools.       I've been debating taking the chuck off to use on the 5C arbor Snag sent       me.              I may have a job coming up for the BS-O indexing head. Resizing a       bending die.                            --       Bob La Londe       CNC Molds N Stuff              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
