My daughter lives in Hungary and so she has to order stuff from the USA to save on postage. Here is what she bought me.

The milling machine has many uses but also many gadgets. If you get one you will spend as much or more on tooling before you are done. There are many types of vises and each perform a function. This closed a gap.

Tapping tools are next. They won't buy me slots but they will buy tools. Go figure.

No slots but a dial indicator to "tram" my milling machine.
