A new member was asking me about Acronyms.... I have

HD home depot. PA is princess auto. HF is harbor freight.

EM is end mill.

So... , as the OP on this, are you gunna put all this together in your first post so it's useful to a newbie? ;)

And keep track of new suggestions and update the list forever? o_O

Bet you wish you never opened this can of worms......

I'm just kidding @Janger . Nonetheless, it is a useful insight into the other discussion we were having about databases.

Oh ya, and OP - Original Poster.

IIRC - If I remember correctly.
ICIF - In case I forget
BP - Bridgeport
TS - Tailstock

I always thought that ER stood for "extended range" . ER40 collets have a grip range of 1mm or nearly .040" so if you have a full set of metric ER40 collets there are no gaps in the gripping range. Maybe I have been wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

That was always what I thought too. How the heck does anyone get "eccentric" out of those things. Other than the eccentric guy who started that line of products that is....

Not a clue. What's AVE?
Check Youtube.
Not everyone's cuppa tea and certainly not mine.
The guy drives me crazy but there is the occasional nugget.
At one time he was selling a ruler with CH and RCH increments.
My dad worked on the rigs before he farmed so the language was ...eloquent?

Oh no not AVE. I’m gonna delete all these not listing acronyms. :p
I know what the other Acronyms are. RCH etc go back to when I was a young man, and they really are..... Ask me how I know! But what is AVE short for?

Why do I get the feeling that everyone else knows something I don't know. I feel a little like a great grandmother at the porn shop.

No idea why I said that. My wife is a great grandmother and she knows more than any of those kids at the porn shop....... :eek:

It was the image I wanted though.....
