Hi Denny,
What is the brand and model of the tool post on John Gland's lathe?
The Aloris A2 that you gave me from your B-6 is a little too large.
I can't get the tool holders low enough to use 1/2" bits. The one in
your pics looks like it would be great.
Oh, how did you like using the Dalton? Just like your Hardinge...
right? :-)
