Hi, I enjoy machine scraping and long walks in metal machinery factories.

Wow. Three of us within 20 miles of each other? Guess I had better get that batch of ale finished up.

Nice haul Rob.
 "The Art of Electronics" is a real good book. I cut my electronic teeth on it. By the way, not all of us are down on Chinese products. Ed

Wrote: Anyway I can't understand why you lads in the USA are so down on Chinese products ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Starrett was made in China Starrett's decline began immediately after their purchase of Lufkin and accelerated after its offshoring many products to China. I will purchase American or European made used Starrett tools, but never any of their Chinese made offerings. BTW, I have a Lufkin 0-1" micrometer. Satin finish, X/10ths, carbide faces, friction thimble. I bought it used at a Pawn Shop in San Diego in 1974 for $25.00 and it was the first mic I bought. Still have it and it is like new. Always passed certification and I wish I had a full set 0-6" Lufkin mics. |
