I bought a collet set and a clamping set with the mill. Other than that I'm good, at least for the moment. My Dad left me vises, end mills, reamers, taps, lathe cutting tools (up the ying-yang), v-blocks, parallels, calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, etc., etc., etc. I won't know everything that I have until I get it all laid out and sorted. I have a 6 drawer tool box, on top of a 4 drawer stand, sitting next to a 5-6 shelf 18"x48" shelving unit, all loaded with something to do with metal working.
 
Welcome Denny. I just joined myself. I am 70 also. I got into this hobby about a year ago. I have a PM1022 & PM 727V.
 
Welcome to the forum Denny. Lot of great folks here, and I'm thinking many of us are your age or close to it. A fine group of Geezers indeed. Cheers, Mike
 
For once I feel young! Just turned 53 and have been retired for about 3 years.

Welcome Denny! Great bunch of folks here. ;)
 
Welcome Denny! I was on the sidelines until age 58 and bought mine. This is great forum - I relied on it heavily to get my machine up and making parts!
 
Mmcmdl, I live just north of town. I used to do a lot of Frontier Days celebrating, but as I've gotten older I don't do it as much. The music has gotten too loud and the crowds too large.
My next project on the mill is to learn gear cutting, so I suppose that will be the next pile of tool purchases. One thing about metal working, you do get the opportunity to buy lots of tools! :grin:

Can anyone tell me the distance from the bottom of the mill to the top of the table? I have an idea for a stand but want to make sure I have a good working height so that info will be very useful. Thank you. Again, the mill is a PM-25MV.
