Love the Turn-Pro mill. I have a Sharp LMV at work and I prefer the Turn-pro. I would say it's quite accurate, lots of power, and will handle anything I throw at it.How do you like the Turn Pro mill?
Randbo,
Welcome to the site, thanks for all the pictures.
It looks like you are getting very well setup.
I am glad to hear that you are getting back to enjoying your hobbies I think that is an important part of being okay with things.
What projects are on your list?

I just built a power drawbar for my mill. I liked a build that I saw on YouTube that Mike(Zmotorsports) did. He sent me his drawings he did and then I converted them to cad to adjust the dimisions to fit my mill. The original design that Mike mirrored was from a guy on YouTube named Colin(Comp Edge X). I also talked to Ray Caniglia from YouTube who also did one and he help me with the pneumatic side of things. I just wanted to make sure I give those guys credit. Anyway it was the best $200 addition for 5 sec. tool changes that I have spent.Hey Brino,
So many projects on the list right now. I'm thinking about making a power drawbar for the mill. Also wanting to make a welding table similar to a strong arm design. Tail stock die holder, Rotary welding table, finger brake for the hydraulic press, tool post grinder... just to name a few.

No problem. I need to clean it up a bit. Give me a few days and I will work on it and send it to you. Pm me your email.Awesome work 1cjk!
That was the design I was looking at as well. Watched the YouTube build that both Mike and Colin did. Seemed pretty straight forward. I already have an air cylinder and butterfly impact kicking around that I was going to use. Just have to order up some 6061 and some flow controls.
Would love to see your CAD drawings.
