.......But, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Good accurate work can still be done, it just requires a little more planning and time. I have used my quick change tool post more than once as a milling attachment......No mill at the moment but using a small vertical slide on my small lathe. barely suitable

Being British, I think it needs to be on the left side of the shop....
Looks nice and beefy, I have a much smaller K&T 1a of 1913 vintage. You will probably be making chips long before I do though......
and should have a drip-pan.Being British, I think it needs to be on the left side of the shop....
Update: X axis Power feed and three axis DRO are now installed. These are a game changer! Haven't destroyed any more plastic gears, I'm careful to not stall on a heavy cut again, that's what did the damage last time. Next is a new quill DRO, per the Blondihacks YouTube video, just waiting on the slow boat from China.
....... And, don't even think of having a reliable light.....
Years ago a buddy of mine & I were at the local airshow in Lethbridge. We were walking around the static display & came across a Brit Tornado. Sure enough, under the fuselage about 2/3's of the way back, oil was dripping onto the tarmac. We LOL'd & made the appropriate caustic remarks...
I once saw a new Norton Commando sitting on the showroom floor.....with a drip pan under it.
My first Hawg was (still have it) a '74 Sportster. The only time I'm worried about the oil underneath it is when it stops dripping.

I can't help with a rotary table, however, for a limited time, I can offer a screaming deal on a corner lot on Round Island...... Or perhaps the bridge leading to said island......Sounds like a great friend. I suddenly need to reevaluate my friendships because not one of them has ever called me about a $50 rotary table.
I'd check that lot for hidden German Shepherd's, too. He currently seems to have a surplus of them...
