    CA-BC Western Supply for drill bits - Victoria

    Keep your eye out for Dormer sales in 2025. A friend of mine was a Sales Rep for them and I think you can get them thru a reseller that ‘we at Whitelaw’ now deal with in Mississauga. BTW We are currently about 100 kms North of Auckland, NZ. WIFI is strong and weather is great (26 deg.C, Sunshine)

    Surface Grinder - HH Roberts, $450, Bolton, ON

    Make sure the lip seals are in good shape. Grinding dust can be very damaging if it is allowed to ‘creep’ into the slide ways and mechanisms.

    Tool Identifying this dial indicator

    Correct. Digital gauges are also subject to static interference which can cause ‘jumps’ in readings (use grounding leads to minimize). A vernier or mechanical dial indicator is a go to metrology tool.

    Timberland, Kodiak, . . . Anything that will keep my Size 15, EEE . . .safe. Up until 10 years ago I would buy a couple new pairs when I was in Chicago for the NPE. Now teenagers are getting so big that stores have ‘inventory’ of large sizes.
