I hacked a 12 volt drill with an e-bay speed controller. Gobs of torque and a built in clutch to avoid damage .

Seems kinda pricey. I absolutely love my Real Bull XJ9512. Its heavier than an X2 and costs less . I see mods people do to the X2 to beef them up and I,ve never had the need to do anything to mine . Just my .02 .

Its a set of generic gages . I have three that go from .700' to 4.00". The original gages came with 1/4' travel .001" indicators which I donated along the way. They come with a Mitutoyo .0001" indicator which is really the only appreciable difference from the Mitutoyos .

Used to get Boca bearings in small sizes foe $1 each for r/c racing. Never had a problem even after taking the seals out .

Very sorry to hear that too .

I have , among other things, an Interapid .0001" reading indicator for sale. I really don't need .0001 resolution in my garage. Pics to follow if I can figure out how to post them. $140. I will have bore gages , depth mics and inside mics later. PM me if you're interested.

If you short out 2 of the contacts on the pot with a push button switch you will have instant rapid. I like this on mine becuse when you find the "sweet spot" feed rate you dont lose it or have to wait to clear .

I love my XJ9512 From Big Dog Machines. A lot sturdier that an X2 .

If the first letter is "C" they're probably ceramic.

I got a couple that were pure junk !

Uhhhh... It looks just like the "Liney 5 " I just completed last year . Just sayin' . :fan:

I'll be there.

Yeah , that cosmetic thing. I'm like ok, it runs good, lets build something else. Though I am working on a turners cube right now to give to my boss when I retire cuz he's been good to me over the years. Gonna have to get that one pretty .

Uhhh , why not just start at the same no. each time ?

Drill the corners 1st staying perhaps .010" away from your finish dim and staying off the bottom. use a flat bottom drill (easily ground) to finish the bottom. Rough the pocket, Then plunge corners to finish with the end mill. then finish the pocket with the end mill.

Dial indicator would be my choice .

Looks like maybe a couple of pieces of High speed tools too . :o

Probably "home made" parallels .

I usually figure to polish after the project is finished but then its like okay, it runs good, lets build something else .

Also known as a " fret saw" .
