It was rather pleasant. It does work as advertised, although there
were some things that I did not like, which I wil mention later. Madea
piede that enabled me to make a toy elevator for my son (he is crazy
about elevators). I will soon buy carbide bits.

Why carbide? Unless you have the rigidity and the need it might not be
worth it. A set-up in carbide that lacks the rigidity will be
disappointing. Explore and master HSS, grind 200 or so different
applications, learn empathy. There isn't much that you can't do with HSS.
On the other hand, carbide tooling in a good quick-change with enough HP is
sweet, especially for semi production and exotic or harder steel.
