Randy -
I thought about the N Scale drivers, but figured that you had done the whole job on your Tormach. It wasn't until I rooted around and found your lathe posts that I saw the fixture you used to hold them in the mill. That's a neat fixture. I need to find a decent source for scrap metal so I can make soft jaws and a few other fixtures for things I want to make.
When I gather all of the parts, I plan to use some scrap 1" square steel tube and make a manifold similar to saabaero's. I'll add the bigger loc-line vacuum hose that you showed me also, so they can all mount on the spindle casting. I'll probably add an air line as well for when I want to use that as a coolant. I can use a 1/8" soft copper tube for that.
Regards,
