Thanks eveyone
It looks like i need to keep an eye out for local auctions and on ebay. I will take all the advice about RDG into consideration when hunting for tools.
Trevor, Pm just about to be sent
Thanks James
rdg/chronos boring heads are ok and a good price i have 2 of the 2" ones one on the mill and one made into a ball turning tool that one was in the scrap bin at chronos cost me a pound i agree with others that the cheap rotary tables are a bit wibbly but saying that i have a vertex dividing head from rdg that is quite solid although my rotary table is a random czech brand and about 70 years old so solid i have to lift it mechanically pic of the £1 boring head ball tool
