Maybe I'll change my views some day, not. :)

I'm sure you and everyone else has surplus of some items. Doesn't seem to stop us from collecting more, though. At least for me, I'm close to the limit, unless I move, or seriously reorganize things. Doesn't look like I'm moving in the immediate future, so that basement reorganization is going to have to happen. Hope to get to it within the next few months. It's overdue.

Jaime, don't you have a drill press? is there an MT2 taper on the drill press?

If not, I know some guy on here that has a basement full of STUFF that he is looking to get rid of. If you can get him to get off his rear and go down there, I'll bet he can find you a MT2 drill chuck for a good price... On the other hand, he might not be in the mood to part with anything right now...

Used between centers. The other kind of mandrel, with simple slits

seems to slip when you need it the most. I made one, and it was ok, but it did slip on occasion. Making a gear, you can't have the gear slip or rotate on the shaft. You could also use a nut mandrel, where the gear blank is clamped by a nut against a flange on the shaft.

I’m sure you’ll find some stuff you haven’t seen in years :)
