Thanks to the folks at Lost Creek Machine I was able to afford an Aloris CXA Toolpost with various holders. Also snagged Jacobs 16n drill chuck with MT3 shank!

T-Nut is a little oversized for my compound! This will allow me to make for a nice fit.

Closer to making chips. New belts and VFD have arrived too. Need to continue cleaning and change oil in headstock but won't be long now.
