Where did you get the spindle center finder? Not sure what to call it. That is sweet.
A Doall mill? Nice
 
Prusa i3 Mk3 to replace my cheap, only worked during rare planetary alignments (and if the correct blood sacrifices where made) delta 3d printer

Went with black with black rather than the standard dayglo orange. Waiting for it to ship from the Czech Republic will be a pain. Why a Prusa? Tops the reliability lists consistently, huge community backing and all the major slicing software works out of the box with it.

That’s just a Starrett planer gauge. I measured the centerline off my bed and leave that adjusted to that measurement. I keep thinking I should just take a piece of 3/4” round stock and turn the ends down to the correct length, just haven’t done it yet.
 
Yes it’s a Do All mill made in Spain. It’s in storage for another month or so till my shop is finished.
 
Been waiting patiently for a 25% off Zoro sale. Got me a Jet 2x42 grinder for $391 including tax & free shipping. Orderd Monday night, received this morning. Woohoo.

Unfortunately no time tonplay with it for a while but at least I finally got it. Only took it out the box to power it on, tables are still in the box. When I get done doing all the stuff I need to on my truck I'll pull it back out of the box & set it up properly.

That is the one I have, I modified the platen, and added the pyrex backing. It gets used a lot.
