Re: 618 milling attachment jaw plates


 

That is true. Good tools, that fit your hands and are comfortable to use, do make things easier. Cooking, machining, sewing, woodworking, whatever. I was seriously looking at turning my dad's Craftsman drill press into something resembling a lathe when I got the HF 7x10. Took a while to learn enough to justify even that, but made it easy to drop the $850 for my Atlas TH42 when I finally found one. Sometimes you gotta make do with what you have, but the right tools can make a chore a pleasure.

My wife is into crafts but not tools. She was dissappointed when,I gave her a pair of good side cutters until she used them a while and compaired the results to the craft store/ Walmart cutters she had been buying. Appreciation some times comes slowly.
