Re: LED Lathe Light
DBN, One word of caution. If you plan on keeping it in your coat pocket, it may not last as long. I think the bouncing around loosens up the battery holder a bit so sometimes you have to tilt it a bit

Digital Calipers
DBN, I saw that one. Its a 47257-1VGA vs. 93940-1VGA. I saw the one you pointed out. I think I'll hold out for the one w/big digits and a computer interface as I may convert my lathe to cnc later on

Re: Practical Advice on Lathe Bits
Hi There A quick way around the brass tools is to use 1 holder and the same size tool bit. As a brass tool has no top rake you can set 1 tool holder to required height and just interchange the tool

Practical Advice on Lathe Bits
I am new to using the lathe and just upgraded to a QCTP and find myself wanting a very large supply of tool holders for turning tools. I would like to know roughly how many tool holders you are using
