My vote for a tool I waited too long to get is a set of Fein core drills. Wonderful accurate cuts, some material saving and versatile - hand drill, lathe, mill etc. I got a set on sale to start and buy another every couple of months to build up my size range - especially if they are on sale.

I'm sure my wife thinks I'm a hoarder, but she is always happy to have me fix something using a part from my big blue "good stuff" box that I started 50 years ago. Of course, now it has lots of company as the good stuff overflowed and had to locate elsewhere to fill up two shops!

I've written a series of 5 articles about the build which are being published in The Home Shop Machinist magazine. But here's a spoiler - a picture of the finished product.

Already replaced with a Hardinge HLV-H. Just about older than I am but in beautiful shape.

Now sold at asking price.

Yes, I advertised it here for a few days to give our members priority. When I got little interest, I widened the advertising scope.

Confirmed it was assembled, tested and imported from Taiwan. Price now $6000

Same unit that I advertised on this forum. I also advertised on Kijiji and Craigslist. Note the price is now $6000.

Responding to some comments, I've dropped the price to $6,000 and also confirmed that the lathe was (at least) assembled in Taiwan and imported from there.

As mentioned in the ad, the lathe is still powered up and available for testing/demo.
