Well, all the process does is remove impurities. It only removes a very small amount of material. It does not add anything to the metal so I would think it would either make no difference or maybe a little better adhesion.... I can't think of any reason where it would make it worse. I bet they...

The real term is Electropolishing. We used to have it done in the plant to all the stainless steel things we made.... and we used a lot of SS. I never worked in that dept but they dripped them in a tank and electricity was applied. What it does is take out the impurities (usually from the...

Exactly. If I was putting on those Logos written in Chinese I can all but guarantee I'd put one on upside down... or maybe all upside down except one :)

Well put. You might have heard about a musical instrument company and others getting busted for Ebony. That stemmed from them supposedly importing/acquiring it illegally. If you live and buy yours in the US you should have no problems. Be carefull with Ivory though. Even if you get it legally...

Bummer WOW, guess I need to stop by here more. Didn't know this happened. I am pretty sure I've done at least one deal with Dave without issue. Hope that guy gets his money back. I am not sure what would P me O more, giving him free stuff to help with his medical bills or getting ripped off a...

My bad, you're right. I have a B&S Indicator and it still works well after 30+ years. All my Mics are B&S but I don't care for their Dial Calipers either.

There are 3 types I know of: Finger-type - Like the Pic above. I really like Mitutoyo. I do not like the B&S Last Word. Too small and generally a pain. If you don't change the probe (contact point) they are fairly accurate. Like Neil, I use this for just about everything. Plunger Type - Like...

I see they have yet to replace Mark Bear with supplying FS blanks. Might be a good opportunity for someone!

I've been using the 3M masks for years. I think I have the 7500. I can't remember the filter #s but i am pretty sure they are the HEPA filters. Whatever they are, I spent some time researching and bought the ones that block the finest particles. Joe is using the better cloth filters but I still...

Well if he picked through them he probably grabbed one of each (or that lady did). I think you're doing the best thing. Acknowledge and move on. I'm sure if any of us see them you'll hear about it. But, may as well figure its a loss and forget about it.

Ever think about getting the phone records pulled? No need for a subpoena, Joe should be able get them just by asking.

Can't believe this is still available. A couple months ago when I got my 2nd Deluxe I would have snatched this up instead. Love to buy it but I think the Mrs. would be a bit perturbed if I bought this instead of getting her the new Browning 12ga. she wants. Oh, saw the new space you have for...

Exactly right Terry. IMO just getting a brand new machine and support from Chris is worth the extra couple hundred. Plus you get the collets, cutting tools, centers, pins, Wrap Pedal, etc... even a video (he even let me pick the one I wanted too as I already had 2 of them). Don't mean to be...

Seems to me you'd be better off paying an extra couple hundred and get a brand new machine & all the tooling and stuff from Chris. I picked up a machine just like that one here on AZ for $2260 shipped but it came with a LOT more stuff. The thing I like about it is it feeds in both directions...

Is this for a Hightower lathe? I have an extra one I believe. You'll need to specify the diameter. Might just want to buy a new one from Chris, they aren't that expensive.

Interesting but not extremely useful as far as Cue Building That would be good for cutting flats and maybe milling glue grooves in the center of pins. Used a machine similar many years ago but it was a horizontal mill instead of vertical. The handle on top is for moving the cutter down quickly...

Same here. I've bought quite a bit from them and nary a Doodle for me. Maybe a couple hundred at a time doesn't qualify.

Great minds think alike huh? I was writing up the same suggestion the same time as you were. Funny I have to get one from you just for that simple fact :)

Why don't you guys start selling Gift Certificates? I would LOVE to have them them for X-Mas instead of a new Ipod or clothes. Its difficult to explain to people what I'd want off your sites. Thoughts: - Make a minimum of say $25. - State you have to use the entire amount on GC's under $100 -...

Sent an email an hour ago so I may have beaten both of you :)
