    The battle of the Harrisons

    Thanks, I will look up wordle. I am re-calibrating my toolroom dreams. I will mostly be making small parts and tools with fine threads. I'm thinking of a Hardinge clone, Cyclematic, Sharpe, Babin, or similar toolroom lathes. There's a Feeler 440v also a Hardinge HLV clone at FEELER FTL 618...

    Craftex CT043 old style

    Craftex CT043 old style

    Oh Flitz this may be too much of a temptation for me. I would have to sell my 64 yearn old wood lathe to make space and drive for 7-½ hours, one-way from Ottawa, but anything for a site-mate I may be able to relieve TorontoBuilder of his dilemma and make a new one for myself.

    Wild M250 long focal length microscope

    I know it. Worked in Edmonton for a few years. May be best to focus on a local Mititoyo.
