I appreciate the temptation. I somehow struggled through life before the Hardinge, but now life seams to have meaning. lol
On a lighter note, the shank on that threading tool is about 1 inch deep, my largest holder is about 3/4 so I was going to mill the shank down. A file said it was hard but how hard can it be. A 1 1/4 indexible end mill made sparks at 600 rpm. Plan B, make a bigger holder.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
