Is there any guarantee that the OD of a chuck is accurately concentric with the jaws?

I'd actually call that scepticism ... much healthier than cynicism.

... not to mention the taper on a pair of my wife's mixing bowls.

May I, respectfully, make a suggestion, Bill? When you reply using a quote from a previous message, put the cursor below all the quote markers, click, then carry on typing your response.

This way you reply doesn't get mixed in with what you are quoting which is sometimes hard for the reader to follow. (Not really a problem with the above message but it has been difficult sometimes).

One reason I prefer the ball-end type is that you can safely run in fast initially until it beeps (and the light comes on). Then back off 5 or 10 thou and go in carefully to get the exact point.

To each his own though of course.

... or the CBC report which says it will take a year. Take your pick!

... or using a filament dryer presumably.

Does that un-brittle it, or is it a question of once brittle the damage is done?

.... or what I like to call "Totalitarianist Capitalism".

Great situation to have a large format All-In-One Printer. Just de-staple the mags, load them in the feeder and take off to the shop. Copy them to paper or to file.

When finished you can staple the mags back together, if you wish, with a long-reach stapler.

Comes in hand for decent-sized working drawing prints for the shop too.

Guess who's got one?

Funny - the Internet seemed like a good idea at the time ....

Whether or not you can think of a use for them, it's a no-brainer to pick up a set for the "this will come in handy" shelf in the workshop.

Thanks, Jason - that might explain why I didn't get any ads when I tried what you did.

A while ago, I took the trouble to go through all the multiple Gmail configuration dialogues and turn off anything that was intrusive and didn't relate to the most basic tasks of sending and receiving mail. (It took nearly forever at the time - the convolutions are endless).

I just rechecked and, although Google obfuscates the wording, it seems I have the ads turned off.

Ah ... I was actually referring to the email routing headers on the assumption that the email was showing up on peoples' local email clients (which is how I read email ... gmail incoming gets forwarded and added to other sources). Not sure how easy it is to look at the full headers from gmail online itself.

I did try exactly what Jason did but nothing showed up for me in either of the the gmail inboxes (2 accounts) - when checked online - even though I am logged into both. My browser is pretty strapped down security-wise though.

So (again if I understand this correctly) they infiltrate the user's machine and insinuate their message directly in his/her email client? That's abusive and inexcusable, plain and simple.

(It should be possible to tell if the email is actually sent in the normal fashion by examination of the email headers).

Does this actually get you any closer to the answer to the original question. That is, how they (or a third party) knew where to send the email to in the absence of your wife providing that information?

Or am I missing something?

Just musing .... if she'd entered her email address on any site, Google is probably quite capable of linking that address to her IP and serving that information up to another site (presumably for a price).

While IPs are not strictly static they are often more so than people assume.

What Duncan says is true and is a common admonition around here.

OTOH, having the kind of job I did today - multiple parts requiring multiple cutter/attachment changes in each setup - I think I'd have gone slowly mad. I'll stick to ER collets.

I do have sets of both ER and R8 collets. The R8 set is actually very handy as a memory test. ( ...."Now when was the last time I used an R8 collet?" )

I found the same thing when I got mine some years ago but, since i have an ER32 setup on my mill, 20 mm wasn't a problem. I see some are showing up now at 16 mm. The body diameter may constrain the battery that can be accommodated though and it might end up being "special" (I have no knowledge of that one way or the other).

The other thing about my ball-ended edge finder is that, in addition to lighting up on contact it also audibly beeps which can be very handy in some circumstances. I wouldn't want to be without that feature now.

... and the giveaway in this thread is in the "Electronic" of the title.

As far as not being able to use them on non conducting material, a little ingenuity can help. For example a jumper lead clipped to a feeler gauge and suitably connected can give an electrical path .... an appropriate positional correction then being made.

You can't just squint down the paper entry path with a flashlight and have a look?
