My original wedge type came from Arc, very good quality and all extra holders have fitted nicely, some cheaper tool holders I bought have been a bit hit and miss, I will stick with the genuine Arc ones in future.

Tony

Just another point, I prefer the ‘wedge’ variation of this toolpost type

Tony

Ah another frequently asked question, the honest answer is they may be, but the only way to ensure compatibility is to source from one retailer, any problems with fit etc would be down to them.

Tony

Good job, decent tools make all the difference!

Tony

Well the less the better but we are talking about a hobby mill, an industrial machine costing £££'S should have little discernible internal spindle taper run out when new.

I cannot believe MK metals is still going, I had the same experience as Buffer.

.001" isn't the best but you will be able to cut metal, I worked on large mills for many years and their spindle run out was far worse than yours.

Tony

Chris Mate, I believe you are over thinking things, go cut some metal.

Tony

I've never had a problem, maybe lucky?

Interesting, less than 4 miles from my house in a residential street, I wonder where the items are being made?

Tony

Invariably carbon steel taps are not ground, maybe the flutes but not all over as per HSS.

Unfortuanateley Dave the NHS is seen as a sacred cow, no one party dare sort it out if that is actually possible! Whoever is in power can do 'no right' according to the opposition, the only way forward is to have a cross party committee to try to achieve a consensus on improving the NHS, at the moment it is going downhill fast for many many reasons.

As per V8Eng, the correct procedure is to contact the seller, it's them who has the contract with the courier.

Exactly what wheel are you trying to dress?

Tony

Sadly Ian you have hit the nail squarely on the head!

Tony

Will CCGT 030102 inserts not work? Just a thought.

I use R8 collets all the time, I think I may have an ER collet system also but haven't used it as yet.
