I can get some from a metal supplier for about $130. ea which I find to be steep. I was thinking of making a back plate for a collet chuck out of aluminum as a last resort...

    AE refunds items that are not delivered but they do not refund the shipping charges. I am speaking from personal experience. So it is a quick way to loose 20 bucks that could have been spent locally or from a place in Canada.

    AliExpress does not refund the shipping charges if the product does not make it to your doorstep within their time-frame or at all. Amazon, I find expensive in most instances, The free shipping is compensated for in the inflated price. I would much rather see honest pricing for the item and...
