On the drill chuck. I prefer a keyed chuck on a straight arbor.
Keyed chucks are shorter, and grip tighter than keyless chucks (not to mention much cheaper).
The straight arbor is also shorter than the R8 arbor.
You have a nice big mill, it will beg you to fill it up. then the day will come when you will have trouble getting the drill chuck in an out...
Also, do not forget break in, but it in each gear for 10 minutes, then change the oil.
So you also will need some gear oil for the head (those do have gears?)
Ohh,
it looks like you also need a lathe
