    UPS gripe

    Bummer, hope you get your package after all that crap! I have found anything shipped from the US via UPS entering Canada through Vancouver is going to get held up! And not by a little but rather weeks and weeks. I too hate UPS, they once tried to charge me $47.00 duty fees on a $35.00 part, so I...

    Tailstock DRO

    Any suggestions for one that won't break the bank? One that's able to withstand a bit of coolant mist....
