Not nearly as fancy as as new calipers or Brown and Sharps but my new independent 4-jaw chuck arrived today.
Haven’t taken out of the box as it’s completely covered in oil. And I was in the kitchen

My wife got me two tool boxes that go above lower toolboxes. One is 26” wide and the other is 44” wide. I needed more places to put things. I need to get stuff organized so I can get my ‘63 Corvette split window back in the surgical suite from the adjacent garage.

Got this for Christmas. Got tired of the benchtop one and decided to get one that would last a while. Just got it wired up tonight and adjusted the outfeed table.
8 x 76 Spiral cutter head, paralellogram beds, 220v 3 HP motor.
It is so easy to run a board through, the Cuts are perfect and smooth.

Received a couple of weeks ago, just before Christmas so I guess you could say a present to myself.
Bought a "spin indexer" set up for "5C" collets. I have a little unconventional use in mind so I scrounged around and found an adaptor. I already have a set of ER-25 and a set of ER-16 collets on hand. The adaptor I found was for 5C to ER-25. That should save purchasing a set, or even individuals, of collets for 5C. They're kinda costly and what I have in mind isn't worth that much until it proves out.
The adaptor isn't in yet, it's coming from China. Well, so did the spin indexer, if you traced it back far enough. Total TIR should be a thou or less, if the parts live up to their advertisments. Not so good for a real machinist but usable for my purposes.
The adaptor is coming from Banggood, if anyone wants to know. Pretty cheap......

Is this a project or already done? Thread on that?

I've had good luck with my Shars purchases. From my experience, they seem to make an effort to sell the better quality components.
I'd be curious to see what your TIR is when you chuck up a length drill rod.
