ROFLMAO!! Well done Sir..veddywelldone indeed!

And you are both wrong.

OOOOO!!!!! Ive never seen one of THOSE before! Neet!

I noticed that my right angle head....

"Above: No. 3 right-angle attachment for the Model J Head. This
heavy-duty 4 to 3 reduction unit was very well made with hardened and
lapped spiral-bevel gears and the hollow spindle, designed to accept
standard R-8 tooling, running in pre-loaded ball bearings. The
attachment is shown in combination with the Auxiliary Arbor Support, a
device that greatly improved its performance when used for horizontal
milling. The collet capacity range was 1/8" to 3/4"."

so evidently the Auxiliary Arbor Support was purchased seperately.

that Roosevelt would be remembered as a great president, "maybe even
alongside Washington and Lincoln," opining that Roosevelt "had every
quality that morons esteem in their heroes.""
