That's looks awesome, thanks for the great build thread too. I'm also a Sherline user, so it's great to see what these little machines can do.

Very nice.

I use these: http://www.leevalley.com/en/Wood/page.aspx?p=20235&cat=1,330,49233&ap=1 To carve brass. I have a turning rest, similar to a wood turning rest for my Sherline lathe. It does a great job on brass. Just have to take light cuts.

I put a Sherline handle on my Taig cross slide. I didn't like the length of the original slide, so I built a 6" one. Sent from my iPad using Model Engines

I bough a Makerbot Replicator 2X last year. Not cheap, but got good results out of the box. I have since upgraded the heated build plate to an improved model and a few plastic pieces to aluminum. Here is a pic of some helicopter tail rotor rigging tools I printed up Sent from my iPhone...

That's pretty interesting. Just invested in a Makerbot replicator 2x. Now I have another task for it :)

You could try putting a dab of valve laping compound to the tip of your screwdriver. I've done that before to remove Phillips screws with damaged heads. Give the screwdriver a little extra holding power.
