    So true! JoeHarris I dread to think what I've spent on tools. I have kept the receipts for everything so one day I will total the costs. For example, just bought one of the Pro-Tram units to tram the spindle on my machine. 90 quids worth but it does make it easy!

    Top tip for tapping threads in Ali extrusion - use a spiral tap in an electric hand drill. Saves a LOT of time!
