Hard to imagine that I used to think a dot matrix printer was fast. or a dasiy wheel printer was the best.

Either one sure beats chiselling into a stone tablet......

But, when you chisel into stone, you don't have to worry about it peeling off or running out of ink. Grok no like change cartridge, uug! Mike

For corrections, mix cement well, fill in ooops and wait to dry before continuing chisel work.

I bought this Engineers Black Book after seeing it in one of Adam Booth’s videos.

Highly recommended! There’s a section that shows what inserts work in the different standard holders.

This was super helpful in finding inserts and tool holders at good prices.

Nice Dave, I have to update my laptop as well. It is so slow that I can't run OnShape any more, ever since I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. Win 10 uses too much of my processor and video system.

You say you purchased a refurbished laptop. Where did you get it. I really don't want to drop $1500 on a new one.

I got it at Best Buy. It was marked down from $1200 to $900.
I’d seen them before in the store and timed the form factor.
One thing that I like is that it has a built in numeric keypad. Handy for be because I do a lot of spreadsheet work for a non-profit school.
But the primary reason I bought it was because my MacBook was really struggling with Fusion 360 and I want to build a CNC router. For that I want to use Mach4 which is PC only.
I looked at running a dual-boot system on my MacBook but the software alone was $300.
I may sell the MacBook
