My graduation combination of choice is 16th's and 32'nds on one side and 10th's and 50th's on the other. I think it's called 3R graduations. The fractional side satisfies my woodworking needs, the 10th's and 50th's satisfy my machining needs, not to mention the benefit of the 50th's actually being large enough to read. Blink

32nd's and 64th's automatically get paired with an optivisor. 16th's may be included soon..... Blush

USPS dropped off this R8 1" indexable end mill and 1/2" indexable boring bar yesterday.  The end mill is import and the boring bar is a Square-Lok LB9M.  They both take the same TPx-22x insert.

Did they ship it with a broken insert?


RE: Latest Delivery - dallen - 11-20-2015

the ones in the milling cutter are made that way


RE: Latest Delivery - JScott - 11-23-2015

The inserts are fine.  The picture is a little funky because of poor lighting, a cheap camera and maybe a little shake when I took it.  I need to work on my camera technique.

Yesterday I won an eBay auction for 69 of these inserts.  Got them for 88¢ a piece.  Should be enough to last me a day or two!

Ah, the cutter I refer fondly to as "The Spindle Hammer". They cut metal, that's about all I can say about them. At least you have a lifetime supply of the inserts those cutters like to demolish. Or a week's worth if you're in high production!

Best of luck with it.

My take from an auction of a job shop in CT that went under. I bid on just two lots, this one for a box of reamers, the other (lost) was one pristine VIS thread micrometer just like the one I have and two 30º point mics that the auctioneer listed as thread mics. I think that drove the bidding over $125, I quit at $50. The box of reamers went for my minimum bid of $25, plus 15% buyer premium and $1.87 state sales tax. My total was $30.58 for a total of 59 reamers. Most are US made HSS, a couple China, India, Czech Republic. Only about a half-dozen duplicate sizes, no nominal metric (which I was hoping to get.) Works out to less than $0.52 each, far less than I typically find on eBay!

The largest is 0.754", the smallest is 0.093". One is a nearly complete set of "inch" sizes at .001" over and under nominal 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" and 1/2".
