Looking for a set of quality adjustable parallels, thought I'd check with you all first.

I bought a set from Accusize. Didn't pay $98 though, was more like $75

@DavidR8 How were they? I have heard some from China are quite gritty and needed a good clean and deburr.

They are really nice. Very smooth and clean without much need for a full cleaning.
I've had excellent luck with everything from Accusize. The drill chuck I bought for the mill is a thing of beauty.

I have lots of similar stuff from accusize. It is clearly Chinese but they do enough volume to be able to insist on higher quality product.

If you buy Accusize through Amazon, you get free returns. In my experience that isn't needed. Any concerns I've had were TOTALLY resolved with a quick message or a call to Accusize.

I've purchased a wide variety of stuff from accusize and I don't hesitate to recommend them.

I got a used starrett 6pc set off ebay for $60. There's always lots of used starrett or lufkin ones available.

I was thinking that might be a likely source, just never been down that road.
Thanks.

I agree, probably close to $100 after tax and shipping and you are protected if they are trash. For $100 give me good used Starrett or Lufkin any day.

I have a Starrett set as above - I actually never had use for them yet. The non adjustable ones come in good steps & I have so many sets mostly in the 1/4" thickness.

I also paid at most $50 for it. But mine is not in such a like new state - oil stains or similar.

Should we assume US Funds and shipping?
