I have spent more time making and collecting what I don't have (tooling) than anything else. I have only repaired one other thing with my machines so far. My sheldon came with a collet adapter and only one collet that I'm not sure how it works.
I had a brand new turret for a reload press that was out of round from the factory. It was easier to chuck in the lathe and fix than to send back. Not that I want things to tear up so I can fix them. I'm trying to figure out how I am going to make a tool post grinder (mount it) now.
