Work light is in place as well.

Just need a Mill now to nail in place.

Yes,

I have some stock, depth gauge, DTI's, verniers, mic's, machine vice, parallels, T bolt clamps, cutters etc. What I do not have is the rotary table or dividing head.

A rotary table that takes a Myford chuck would be handy as I have a couple of spares, and I still do not have any V Blocks.

First couple of projects are for the machine, I need to build a trammel bar with a couple of DTI's for set-up (I think that is what they are called) I also need to make a fly cutter and the machine I looked at did not have a positive stop for returning the head to zero. The new ones may well have one fitted but if not I can soon make and fit one.

No doubt there are many more things I will need along the way, the important thing is not to decided I need a bigger Milling machine as I certainly don't have room for it.

Ah yes, I know RDG Tools, they are the ones that are going to be the new Myford people? All I have purchased from them so far was a thread gauge at a show but they seem to have a very good stock list.

I've had a few orders from RDG most delivered within 5 days and arrived on the date they said they would. Not too bad for delivery to the Highlands.

Well it has arrived, apparently I have a rather large packing case that will not fit through the door sitting outside the house right now.
