DavidR8's shop shenanigans

I like the accusisze bxa holders and bought a set of er40 collets (imperial and metric sets), which are fine because 1) I don’t know better 2) are more accurate than my abilities at this time

The collet sets are well packaged (nice case) and all were individually wrapped

All off of Amazon

All my BXA tool holders are Accusize, except for the few Aloris that came with my toolpost. They fit perfectly, and seem well made.

Good intel on the collets from Accusize, Thanks!

Thanks Peter,
I use CCMT and DCMT also. I’ll admit to having cheap import inserts which don’t make me cry if they chip but I’ve never had much luck getting good finishes with them.
I have some Korloy CCMTs and DCMTs on order as I’m curious about the difference between cheap and quality carbide.

One of these days, I am going to order some hi speed inserts and tool holders from https://www.arwarnerco.com/ . I have heard good things about their hi speed steel inserts made of T15 steel.
 
I bought some angle gauge blocks and some expanding mandrels from them through Amazon the last of them came today not unboxed yet though.
 
From what I have seen & bought, Accusize is pretty much the exact same (Chinese) stuff you would find in our normal places. Sometimes the price/shipping/time makes it more attractive, sometimes not. As someone mentioned, sometimes its better to buy their stuff through their Amazon store, it can be net cheaper with Prime.
 
Here is the accusize angle blocks they look good but are not marked by angle on them.

Expandable mandrels for common diameters

These are the adjustable mandrels for odd size bores.

Inspired by @John Conroy Y-axis power feed I splurged on the same unit that I will adapt to my RF30 clone.
Going to follow much the same approach as PragmaticLee

No idea what’s going on there.
I looked at all of them on Vevor and elsewhere and they are all identical except for small details.

Yeah it's hard to know whether the picture or the description is incorrect with these guys. I gambled that the description was accurate and the picture was generic and got lucky. They do respond to emails at [email protected] so you could try that before they ship. They were slow to ship my order and responded quickly after I emailed to ask why. It was shortly after Christmas and they were very busy but responded the same day.
