well had a go with a few of me new tools toys :D

don't know why i didn't get a decent keyless chuck years ago(i'll be ordering one for me lathe), impressed with the mill, nice and solid.

i think the funs going to start when i do me first prper job :bugeye:

what kind of mill did you get???   :worthless:  :D :)

i used a jacobs chuck (with key) for years then about 2 years ago i got an albretch keyless ............ what a difference, no more looking for the key, just hand tighten and way you go.

now the mill is all set up whats the next project going to be?????

I've got another clone of that from amadeal. Seems pretty good, not used it that much. Heavy, powerful motor and good capacity.
