Members' Tooling "Wish Lists"

[sdelivery]

I'll be looking for some 50 taper tooling in the next couple of months. Not exactly hobby stuff, for the most part. End mill holders, face mills, shell arbors.....stuff like that.

In this part of the country there is an over abundance of 50 taper tooling as well as 50 nmtb.

I've been thinking about a small tabletop surface grinder. I don't even know if such a thing exists and even if it did I have neither budget nor room for it. Which is why all I'm doing is thinking about it....

No:1 wish -A stern and responsible shop manager one that takes pride in cleanliness and order.
The current one is a disaster, undiciplined, messy, always leaving half finished projects everywhere, complains constantly that fit and finishes could be better, and never buys me a pint when I've done good.

No:2 a power scraper would might be fun?
