With the exception of three HSS bits, all of these tool holders, bars, shanks and inserts are Aloris. All of the inserts are A6.

Top row, L to R:
MT4 holder, CXA-2 which is a “free agent”, HSS outside threading, three interior insert threading bars.

Middle row, L to R:
Tubing knurler, bar stock knurler with trepanning bit in the back side, four boring bars.

Bottom row, L to R:
MT3 holder, insert parting tool, insert turning tool, insert chamfering tool, insert facing tool, HSS combination turning and facing tool.

Here are some closeups. The only one that should require explanation is the combination bar stock knurler/HSS trepanning tool. The Aloris products are nicely made and the company is extremely professional to deal with.

Here is the cart so far. It needs to hold my spare oxygen cylinder; that has nothing to do with lathe tooling.

That's a lot of cash sitting on that cart, hope you've got a good lock on your garage!

Also, looks very nice. Well done so far.

Precision Matthews informed me that this shipment arrives in PA on Fri., 9/4 or Mon., 9/7. They also told me that the backordered DRO is on the same truck.

I'll bet that there are a lot of people on the forum that have parts in this shipment.

I will barely be able to get my finances in order to pay the balance of $17,250.00, all of which is going on the credit card.

I hope you have a plan to not run the card balance for very long,,,,

 

[Liljoebrshooter]

Sure sounds like a great plan to me.

It looks like you are going to get your new lathe faster than I'll get my new dryer. Ordered it in July, was supposed to arrive in early August, now delayed until Sept 16.

I hope this new lathe provides you with enough enjoyment to make up for all the extra work you have committed yourself to.

This reminds me of a coworker who announced that they just had a baby, then complained about how expensive it is. What can you say?

I often tell new parents that each kid will actually cost them at least $300,000.
