Yeah, Bob I got a South Bend 9-incher I paid $200 for at a garage sale a few blocks from home. I had to spend $275 for a Thread Dial Gage (sigh) and I have a nice small Drill Mill. This summer I'm going to stop making mirrors, lay cement, and build a little shed out back to house them. You know these California winters are wet. ;-)

The big project this week, which turns into months, is modifing the grinding table to be automatic, that is eliminate the hand work.
