    Great info. Lucky me I came across your website by accident (stumbleupon).
    I have book-marked it for later!

    Hi Alan.

    First off, I love your videos. Very helpful stuff. I was watching you videos on converting a older Sherline into a CNC machine. I need to do to my Shoreline too. Can I ask you about the Tap and Dies you used on your project? I see (from the video) that you purchase GreenFiled products, and that you were very pleased with the results. I want to pick up the same taps that you used for mine. Can you provide me with the parts numbers? I’d appreciate it very much. Thanks Alan.

    I bought those tools from jlindustrial back in 2008. I believe MSCDirect bought that company.
