For the most part the tariff is based on the country of origin of the product. For example if you order a made in Poland 5C set-tru collet chuck from the USA there should not be any tariff applied.

I bought one of their seconds grade kitchen knife. I like it.

Seems like a good deal for a Hardinge. It's in Sault Saint Marie Ontario. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1065499244887295/?referralSurface=messenger_banner&referralCode=2 I have not added a link to a facebook post before so I hope it worked.

I have a spare aviation rod end if that helps?

My first thought was that it sounded like you helped someone commit a robbery.

I still use a wiggler on the cnc mill some times. It's a simple device that works well.

I would be shocked if those are genuine Sandvik inserts. I tried some Chinese supplied inserts and got mixed results. Some chipped easily and some were fantastic. I think a lot of the vendors on ali express have no issue with putting a fake label on what they sell. Even if they are not genuine...

I wonder how people keep their shops as neat as that. Before I built a sheet metal enclosure for my mill after running it for even a short time everything would be wet within 10 feet of the mill. The lathe is not as bad but still there are chips everywhere.

The results are impressive. I was going to suggest blue scotchbrite disks and a die grinder but I think your way produced a better outcome.

Since we are talking about hardwood lumber there is a deal available for Nova Scotians. The Therialt sawmill sells kiln dried rough hardwood lumber for a really good price. They have oak, maple, birch, curly maple. Last time I was there about a year ago it was all under $3 a board foot except...

It looks like the one in the bottom right of this photo. I'm away from home working now and won't be home to see if it's still in the scrap bin for 6 weeks or so. I'm pretty sure it's still in there. If you can wait that long let me know and then send me a reminder in 5 or 6 weeks. The one in...

I tossed into the scrap bin a while ago. It's probably still in there. Going from memory it goes on top of the compound rest. It's just not quick change like some of the other tool holders.

The only reason I switched to Fusion instead of using Solidworks was the price. I have an infinitely renewable Fusion license for $400 a year. I got rid of Solidworks a long time ago so can't really remember specifics about it now. The stuff I do isn't complicated enough to need any high end...

You should really watch a few youtube tutorials. It will make a big difference in your understanding. The advice Arbutus gave about forgetting everything and starting over is 100% correct. I switched from Solidworks to fusion and tried to use both for a while. I deleted Solidworks and just used...

I'll have a look in the scrap bin at work. There is usually some two conductor in there and sometimes 3 conductor. Twisted together to eliminate interference and insulated with teflon. It's leftovers from wiring aircraft so its really good quality.
