    Buying tools off shore

    I find Banggood to have less selection and higher prices than Aliexpress. However, if they have something Aliexpress doesn't or they have a deal on a specific tool then of course that puts them first. Delivery with both is spotty; cheap items usually get shipped via SunYou or Yanwen economic...

    Generic Plasma Shields - Success Finally :)

    Price jumped up a touch from @ $31.69 so maybe a few folks bought that and then they hiked the price.. Not a big deal but I have software that tracks pricing and they historically sold for $28.99. FWIW - I love how Amazon uses algorithms to adjust pricing. If you are patient, you can use this...

    Knee mill riser - most useful height?

    I know that this is a subjective question depending on work being done/personal preference but overall: - who here has added a riser to the column of their knee mill? - what height (inches) did you select? - did you find the height you selected as being overall useful...or wishing you had gone...
