Nice. Does it have any live tooling?

Thickness gauge. I'm not a machinist - so this will be fine for my needs of measuring thickness of plastics and what not. (already have digital calipers, but these can measure things that calipers can't)

Harbor Freight?

After breaking 2 craftsman ratchets and 1 metacarpal last week i felt this was a justified expenditure. It has such a short stroke. giggity

Aside from all the basic hand/power tools, these are my pride and joy:

Hobart MIG Welder - 200 Amp


Lincoln SquareWave TIG Welder - 180 Amp


Old Radial Drill Press, Dirty but works great


1941 South Bend Heavy 10 Lathe, holding me over til I finish rebuilding my other Heavy 10


Seiki Vertical Mill, still need to get some tooling for it

nice setup man! not much you cant do with what you got there. do you have a tubing bender? i made one from drawings i found online and it uses jd2 dies. it was pretty straight forward and you shouldnt have a problem making it with what you got there.

+/- .005"?? Not that you need to, but you can do much better than that with just a caliper. Do you not have one?

First off.... It's Mr. Juan.

Sorry - I don't have the link. :| I know it took 2 months to get here. It might have been dealextreme.. Harbor Freight most likely sells the same unit - I don't know.

I just was going by the indicator looking just like a Pittsburgh unit I got from a local bearing place, that they buy from HF.
