I wouldn't worry too much about odd-sized R8 collets. Unlike 5C or ER collets R8s are designed to hold tools, not workpieces so you can probably cover 99 per cent of what you need with 1/4", 3.8", 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4". On the other hand having a range of 5C and ER collets is really handy because you'll can use them for holding pins and small shafts of various diameters...

Got a bid in on a Phase II coaxial indicator with 6 stems. We will see if I win it.

Picked up the flat allen head screws last Friday at Fastenal in Cheyenne. The vise is all done now. Tomorrow Walter and I are going to tram the table and see if we need to shim the column to get it plumb to the table.

Had a missing arm on the mill down feed when I bought it. Made one from stainless to match the existing. 5/8" round with 1/2-13 threaded ends. Turned the ends on the lathe and cut the threads. Got 3 news ball ends as the old ones were kind of pear shaped, and as I expected, no luck in finding that type.
Used a $5 off at Ace Hardware so saved a bit.

Made a new handle for the mill vise. It came with a home made one that was pretty crude. Found a 8 point 3/4" socket and had a spare 1/2" breaker bar, both older Craftsman stuff. Ought to work well for me.
