    What did you make with your lathe/mill today?

    Finally got the Pott's Drill Sharpening Jig finished up. Works great for sharpening 118* drill bits. I mounted it on my KO Lee and you can kind of get a 4 facet grind this way. I can also do a split point using the other work head.

    Well, I had more videos but my computer crashed and I needed a new one. So, this is the first run of the Coles Steam Engine I built.

    This is how bad the Vevor chuck was out of the box. I could barely turn the chuck key.

    Yep, it's a 6". Here's the first stage done. Once I had the section of material I was going to use faced and trued, I took it over to a friends and used his large bandsaw to cut it off. Then re-chucked it and the 6 jaw re-centered very well.

    Recently picked up a 6 jaw from Vevor. Had to do some work to it right off the bat to make it function properly. Works good now and I can hold larger material. In the process of making a rotary table fixture plate.

    Not happy with the quality from Vevor lately. That one you have works great in a vise.

    Those cutoff tools work great! I still need an angle block.
