Beautiful area Gary. Sandbanks PP, Wellington and peaceful places along the vineyards. We have visited several times.

John, Make sure you use this ‘box spray booth’ near an open window or ventilation duct. We had a customer use the same arrangement in his shop. He painted some small parts and went for lunch, when he returned mid-afternoon with a cigarette to take a peek he burned his eyebrows off. VOCs tend to...

TIA, I was able to pickup Piece of 1” thk, UHMW at a client yesterday. It is a waxy, self lubricating polymer from MITSUBISHI Advanced Materials. (See photo) I have a few pieces and could cut you some. Send me you required ‘rough’ dimensions and I can check to see if I have enough.

Piedmont also has a closer site to you in Eastern GTA. 938 Tapscott Road Scarborough, ON M1X 1C3 P. 416-281-4300 BTW - I think Peckovers may have sold their plastics division. (We were buying Nylon Plate from them back in 1998)

I know the reduced shank diameter is for clearance, but, a lot of these Chinese products seem to reduce it to the point of weakening the tool. @Janger . . . I like your straight shank. no stress concentration with it. I may attempt that pocket machining in CR Bar. Note: The last carbide insert...

The smaller overall diameter cutters seem to have a ‘reduced’ shank diameter just above the cutting faces. Looks to be a weak area of the shank, especially for dovetail cutters. I was hoping to stick with a minimum 16mm shank, straight to the cutter faces.

Looking for a . . . 2” Dia x 45 deg. I have 1/2” and 5/8” R8 collets, As well as 10 and 16mm sizes. I have went looked thru the Chinese Products on Aliexpress & Amazon, but, they tend to leave the shank dimensions out of the description. Any experiences or recommendations to share ?
