I'm working my way through improving my skills. I recently added a coolant pump which had made a real difference. I discovered Trade Tools had them at a reasonable price. The drip tray is not a great shape for return the coolant but it's working well enough.

Bob, flex in the main travels?....because you can adjust that to a minimum?
Looks nice...I wish I had the mill head!
With thread turning I highly recommend the 29° method (look back
earlier in this thread or just google it). Makes a FAR cleaner thread.
Hardest part of making a good thread I reckon is grinding a good tool
for it...why do ya reckon I'm scared away from ACME
