[QUOTE="Longtine88, post: 2862090, member: 116240"] Very familiar with lathes, mills, etc for machining from my earlier years. Been using a friends lathe for chambering my own for 2 years. With my OCD in perfection I just cried once lol. I did add about as much in tooling as the machines cost themselves. Air conditioned my shop and now I have a place to escape work and family and have my own world. After setting up, cleaning and leveling I was really blown away with the accuracy these two are made at. So I have no excuse but myself if something doesn’t come out right. I do my best thinking and problem solving on a lathe and a dozer lol. [USER=17722]@bamban[/USER] i do have the TBAS, 3 jaw, 4 jaw and another Buck 10” 6 jaw chuck. Upgraded all my measuring tools also yikes! Have 18 barrel blanks of my favorite and various sizes for the calibers we shoot. Table and rails are all leveled to 0.0001” end to end and corner to corner. One thing I’m looking into is a new indexing dividing head to add to my mill. The one I was using at my friends was old as the hills. Worked but want a little more precision. All my reamers except for 5 have come in from jgs. This has been a 6 month long process putting all together. My old ones were getting a little worn. This hobby will probably turn into more than I want. Usually does with everything I do or try. Lol.
