What Did You Buy Today?

The 35% APR was OneMain Financial & the 19.7% APR was a Chase Bank Amazon credit card. These are unsecured loans.
I had 3 of these, but I paid them off (always early). He only charged a flat 10%; after a year, pay it all back in one shot. No checks accepted. His max was $8K.
These are loans that you *cannot* default on, or even pay back late. Very nice guy as long as you pay on time or early!
No one can accuse you of going part way into the hobby….
Would like to visit next time I’m up there visiting my friends if you have any time off work

Absolutely! I have off every other Sunday. My cell is (707)293-8973.
I bought the power drawbar kit from PM when I bought the mill. It works superbly as long as the spindle it at or within ~1/4" of the top.
But installing the right angle head with the spindle sleeve in place requires the spindle to be several inches below the top position.
Even if I had a drawbar extension, mounting the right angle adapter would be complicated - dismount the power drawbar head, install the drawbar extension, re-mount the drawbar head. Removing the right angle adapter would be the reverse. Way too much work to do, especially because it's a foot or two above head level.
If I can split the right angle head's spindle sleeve, I could simply attach the R8 shaft with the spindle all the way up, lower the spindle, then bolt on the sleeve.
Back in April I posted about replacing a very old Stanley compothane hammer that had fallen apart with another dead blow
hammer from Klein. extropic was kind enough to point out that Stanley tools have a lifetime warranty, so I sent it in.
The customer service rep told me that they didn't have an equivalent hammer to send me, which seems strange since
their catalog is full of dead blow hammers, but in any case they sent this:
Not really similar to what I sent, but no matter, I can find a use for it and after all those years I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Well, my attempt above wasn't very successful. Unless someone likes to read. . . But audio books are useful, modern music I would just as soon avoid and work in (relative) silence.
What I was trying for was a photo of a tapping head. On eBay, it was listed as a "tupping" head. I don't think it's complete, but haven't fully unpackaged it yet. I don't need one, but the price was pretty good at <$30 plus shipping. The MT-2 input shaft has been cut down to a 1/2 inch straight shaft. I can use it in the big drill press. The premise of a tapping head is based on a planetary gear assembly, which is what I was really buying. If my idea doesn't pan out, I can always peddle it out as a nonworking tapping head.
