I’ve created a list of things that would be nice to have for the machining area.

The thing that triggered this is the cool R8 adapter that accepts ER40 collets. This would mean that you could use the mill without having to reach up and use the drawbar and hold the belts anymore. You would just use two wrenches on the adapter. It does eat into some of the Z travel on the mill but if that is a problem you can always remove the adapter and use the regular R8 collets.
Most of the other stuff are things we should have in our machining area. Happy to talk more if needed, but I don’t want to get into XYZ is better than ABC.
Total should be around $450 but I’d like to get $500 in case something has shipping or price changes.
