The introductory offer sound pretty decent: $25 rebate and 90 days same as cash (watch out for the interest charges if you go past 90 days though!)

Mostly things that cost too much, or something that needs to fit a certain job. (I don't make end mills when they're only $5!). I've been doing things like the counter bore above for quite some time, but until now haven't written up a page specifically about tool making. I recently needed a new #10 counter bore and this time I took pics and wrote up a quick page on the particulars. If you're interested ...

Really, 10 years, at least! I'd been using an old surface gauge to hold my dial indicators and DTI's for years and years, and every time it's a hassle. It always is when trying to use something for other than what it's made for. Anyway, I finally got around to making this little setup for holding my indicators on the lathe head stock. It will fit on the ...

I have very few hours on my Taig Mill so far so I have not really ran into this yet.

I have read different things about setting the tool bit slightly below for certain materials. This info did not pertain to Taigs but in general turning. If I am correct the center never changes, why is the tool bit not at center to begin with ? Anyway, I have 2 tool posts ready to go with a left cutting bit and a round nose, shimmed with brass sheeting, I shimmed the bits exactly to the center of the tailstock dead center, I guess ...

I've just stumbled onto this forum - didn't know there was anything dedicated to taig machine owners until now - very cool. I purchased a taig cnc mill a couple years ago but had issues getting things running early on and was too busy to spend much time with it until recently. I picked up a taig lathe from Nick over at cartertools.com (awesome customer service) and am just getting up to speed.
