Nice to see real metalworking.

Don, how are the repairs to your shop coming along?

Lots of tool holders (30-taper and 40-taper as well as
Aloris style) need de-rusting -- or replacement. All the end mill sets
(normal, two angles of dovetail, and Woodruff key cutters) will need to
be replaced, as well as drill bits -- but waiting about ordering these
until I have a place to put them.

rusty endmills and tool holders...will still work just fine after you
hit em with the fine wire wheel. Unless they were stored in a bucket
of salt water for a couple months.

No salt water. I'll see how they clean up -- though I don't
expect anything reasonable in surface finish from the end mills. New
would be better for those -- or at least for the finish pass. :-)

Half the tooling I have at home, came home rusty. Shrug

:-)

But Ill not tell that to your insurance company.

Too late tonight to wade though it all.

Thanks,
DoN.
