i need to get some pin gauges.

Yeah, me too…but it is like you have to buy three sets to have a decent range of sizes…

Also want a broach kit…

i have considered it, the leaving it alone. there are some other things i need.. like a DRO on the lathe.
This is the DRO kit that came on with the Mill.. I was considering upgrading the system and then move this one to the lathe with new scales

PM 2 Axis Mill DRO – 14×31 Inch Scales – Precision Matthews Machinery Co.

Is the readout suitable for a lathe as the link takes you to a dro system that is Mill specific

There is a nice priced broach kit on Amazon that Blondiehacks uses that looks nice to start out with. It is Accusize brand but if you dont do a lot it is prob a nice start.

I might be the odd man out but, I like tools with previous owners marks. To me it feels like keeping the spirit alive!

I don't think you're the only one.

By the very professional, large and clear way that Matt's new tools are marked I think we know that Mr. Hulse was proud of his work and had reason to be.

I tip my hat or beer or mentally say thanks to the prior owner for letting me use his tool.

I saw her video today and added that kit to the wish list… but before that I was looking at some used Dumont sets…

Would that be a better option???
