    Chevalier benchtop T&CG

    Chevalier FCG-610. These are pretty nice, I've got one and use it for drills, lathe tools and endmills. Made in Taiwan, kind of a knock off the cutter-master but superior imo (tall post). Problem is someone busted the air bearing base casting. Probably a few things you could do to fix...

    Indulge in bore measurement luxury! Helios is (was) a German tool maker of some repute. imo they are excellent, the Germans would tell you every bit as good as the Swiss lol. These five bore gauges sets cover 0.157" - 6.3". All anvils are a present, all indicators work well. Indicators are...

    Machine Laser time!

    Now all I need are the sharks. Big thrill at work, we're upgrading from 10x 20' plasma to a slightly smaller (2x4 meter) 12,000 watt laser. One of the most powerful you can get, it should cut up to 2" and just flies on thin gauge and it has a dual table - one being loaded while the other is...

    Home Machinist Mag Back Issues

    At the risk of seeming rather self serving (some of my articles in there are mine) this is imo a good deal and something anyone into the hobby could benefit from. You just end up learning lots reading how-to-build articles....its like you take advantage of all their years of experience...

    Holbrook Minor ..... great deal at 3900

    Craftmaster (not craftsman) wood bandsaw in Toronto

    Made by Craftmaster (Canada) this is a really solid and well made saw. imo better the usual 14" ubiquitous saws. I ended up getting a bigger one (an Inca and my other machines are inca, nothing like matching machines right? lol ) but was very pleased with its performance. Photo is resawing 2"...
