Finally got around to making a case and tray for my L15 & ER25 collets.
These came with an #Emcomat 7 combination #Lathe & #MillingMachine I was given.
The machine and tooling belonged to the manager of the New Product Design Office where I worked back in the early 1980s.
I hope he'd be glad to see that I took good care.
There's something special about a man's tools. Something of their spirit stays with them.
I'm in a fun rabbit hole. I decided to use my #mill as a #lathe. I didn't have #tooling so I ground my own from a drill bit. I didn't have a tool holder so I made that too. I wanted to turn a 1 inch cylinder but don't have anything to hold something that big. So I drilled a hole and press fit a 3/8 inch rod into it and mounted in a #collet.
I'll post steps, photos, video, rationale someday. "Doing it the hard way, on purpose."
