I feel the same way. My idea of a holiday would be 2 whole weeks of everyday in the shop.
Thanks, yes it will be red once finished I missed it when spraying the inside of the bed but will get to it. The inside rim of the hole on the beds right hand side will also be red and the recesses on the headstock where the cap head bolts go will be too.
Thanks all, very useful. What I don’t want us something that’s so poor it will cause me problems even as a novice but equally if I can find a new set for the price of the Dickson or bison then I’d definitely go with that and spend the money saved elsewhere so this feedback is very encouraging.
From what I can see, I think the more tool holders the better too in order to make lathe operations efficient.
I shared an order with one of the other forum members from http://www.createtool.com/list.asp?cid=33
Very pleased with it and nice quality for the money.
Mine is on a Myford 7 so I'm not sure what size you need.
It’s one like this I’m looking at

Which is what I think you guys are recommending, the holders have a adjustment to set the height they individually sit at and then the piston clamps it tight?
Then once you go dro you can number them and save the offsets, then..... Forget to change offset memory in the dro when you change tools and ruin a few hours work.
