    Where to find "thick" trim rings?

    It looks like buying a sheet is going to be the answer. Since I only need a few, I won't need a large peice so hopefully won't break the bank.

    Where to find "thick" trim rings?

    I'm trying to find a source for thick (2-4mm) copper or silver rings. Most everywhere seems to stop at about .031". I'm looking for much wider than that. Any sources out there or do I need to buy solid rod and cut and bore my own?

    The taper bar has a straight bar on the bottom which can be set to whatever fixed taper you would want. So if you wanted to do a straight conical taper, you would set the bearing to run on the bottom of the taper bar. The black delrin bar on top is flexible, allowing you to do custom tapers...

    shaft protector

    Same reaction on my front, I thought the "thinner" peices were too stiff. I peeled off the plastic and now have some very thin rubber strips which do a nice job of protecting the shafts/butts as long as you don't crank down too hard on the jaws. I do like the minimal impact of runuout.

    shaft protector

    I got a used printing blanket from a small print shop locally and cut strips from that. Works great and I got about 40 strips from one free blanket.

    Apparently the lack of pictures was the problem. Despite these were unopnened boxes. No wories, they both sold on e-bay in less than 24 hours.

    Why would posts get deleted?

    A few days ago, I created two posts offering for sale two Simonis 860 cloths that I no longer needed. While I did get a response on one of them fairly quickly, both posts were quickly taken down with no explanation. What's up with that?

    Did you bore out the nylon part altogether? I would assume so.

    Jacoby Black CF Shaft - customer wants to convert from Radial to Unilock.

    Title says it all. Looking at the shaft, it has the typical nylon looking threads. He wants me to drill it out and install a brass uni-lock insert. Questions : Anyone done this? What is the best way to adhere the new insert to the shaft. It seems a bit strange to consider a brass insert in...

    Konllen Carbon Break and Jump Queue experience

    I have a guy on one of my APA teams that bought one on Amazon. It feels okay but sounds a bit strange. He likes it. The allowed him to make 6 monthly payments of $50 for it. Shaft appears to be CF. A bit heavy for my taste at 21oz, no weight bolt.
