MichaelG, sorry if I offended you, I can be a bit picky sometimes, it obviously annoyed you. It seems that Aim is located only a couple of miles from me in a warehouse, they may be useful to me in the future.

Cheers,

Tony

Definitely speak to Warco asap

Tony

You are super 'honest' as the listing clearly says qty 3 so no idea why you sent 2 back.

Tony

Premium means absolutely nothing as far as a concentricity value but £3.99 for 3 is a giveaway, maybe.

I agree with Andrew & whatever method you use the tip has to be set up correctly to give a symmetrical form. You may have also set the required 27.5 degrees from the wrong axis?

I think there are 20 million feral hogs in the USA causing billions of dollars worth of damage per year? Even with their unlimited supply of guns they can't control them.

Tony

The majority of dividing heads will swivel to 45 degrees.

I can't see a problem, Hollowpoint has been around the forum for a while & his commercial interests are hardly on the scale of Amazon.

Tony

You can go in some 'junk/antique' shops and see tat that has been there since the year dot and will never sell.

Absoluteley!! We have put men on the moon but can't stop a Nigerian criminal posing as a UK caller, as Victor Meldrew said 'I can't believe it'

Tony

Try Google for more information than you will ever want🤔

I was imagining metal storage tanks?

I haven't looked yet but am assuming it is the space shuttle disaster?

I ended up some time ago in a 'product support' role working for a firm making aircraft seats and galleys, we were extremely regulated and it beggars belief that someone used a non certified supplier for flight critical parts, a right PIA as regards paperwork but you can see why it's needed. There were conflicting business goals trying to force engineering to accept non certified parts to get goods out the door and earn cash but that had to be resisted, one clueless buyer said to me 'it's only glue' when he couldn't source the certified adhesive as if anything would do.

Tony

Oh NO the Imperial vs Metric argument has reared it's head again. I'm out of here.

Tony

Absolutely a cost saving exercise! And BTW I have just noticed Amazon sell digital 'vernier' calipers, say no more

Tony

Practice, practice, practice and you don't need 2 chuck keys!

Tony

John, just tell your credit card provider you want a 'chargeback'!

Tony

John D, are you using a feed motor to raise and lower the table? Having heard the video we can all tell it's not the gib but my X table travel will sound like that when the motor gear comes a bit out of mesh.

Tony

I have a Myford VME and doubt that you could buy new gears with any certainty but I too don’t think that is the problem, more likely to be a tight gib.
