    I saw those as well, figured they're old listings or something. But if you've actually received them then cool!

    It's all new to me. Todays adventures in Facing, turning, and parting. I'd love some input?

    Awesome details here. Thank you very much. I did notice there's no relief at all in the HSS tool. I did grind one, although my tooling is very basic at this point. A bandsaw is the next thing on my list. Found a portaband on a desktop stand, and an older freestanding bandsaw but they're...

    Edmonton - Can you plane down some oak for me ( 1 cut )

    I could do it in GTA. For your gradient you'd need to find a way to block up the 1¼" so the planer angles it correctly. I've never seen a home one that does angles. What about a table saw and a belt sander?

    carbide insert storage

    I'm not far from you and have an old 3D printer I can fire up for you. It's not super precise but if you're just after a tray or two and can find it on thingiverse, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do.
