Makes a guy wonder just how many individuals are not qualified for the job they hold. Makes one shudder to think it may be the family's doctor.

Right!?

Thanks for the discussion of lathe collets.

I've been mulling this for a while, and have been leaning toward an ER 32 or 40. Shars has an MT 4, drawbar threaded, chuck that looks pretty good.

Any thoughts?

TIA!

That doesn't mean a smart phone is a good camera. It merely means the "market" (consumers who post drivel on Fakebook and Krapchat) is satisfied with mediocrity when it comes to photography.

No disagreement! My B.A. is in photography!

Ignorance is bliss!

Depending upon your patience, you might look for a Burke MV. It's about 3/4 the size of a Bridgeport.

If you're curious, I can measure the height if mine.

Very impressive, Harold.

But a couple of muffin fans should be sufficient.

~20 GB is much smaller than I would have expected.

Excellent info.

After the O'Hare crash, I avoided DC-10's as much as possible. I much preferred the Lockheed L-1011.

Never flew on a 747.

Is this forum great, or what? I'm constantly learning new things!
