Re: Waste not, want not...

From your brief description, I suspect the machine was likely repaired/altered by a previous user.
And I have absolutely zero knowledge of MillTronics machines.

Re: Boring on the lathe
Bill: Well done. I also noted the gloves. To keep chips under control I use bamboo cooking tongs! If they get caught somewhere, they simply break. Food for thought.

Re: Sunbeam 1018 headlight being built from the Sunbeam print

I grabbed them while available, before I needed them.
Your work is inspiring.
