Welcome aboard Rob and nice choice on the tool post. I have an Aloris AXA on my Hardinge and it is super well made. Where in Michigan are you from?

20 miles north and east of Tom puts you in my back yard. How far from Oxford?
Vince.
RE: Latest Delivery - TomG - 04-08-2016
Wow. Three of us within 20 miles of each other? Guess I had better get that batch of ale finished up.

Afternoon Chaps
A few things turned this week
, first off a wee Moore and Wright square .![[Image: P1100982_zpsxh2e3vqj.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/P1100982_zpsxh2e3vqj.jpg.html)

Just about right for working around the mill vice and the like.
Next up a rather nice 150mm 6" Starrett combination square , (Starrett being the inventor of such )

Anyway I can't understand why you lads in the USA are so down on Chinese products ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Starrett was made in China
And finally some new additions to the library .

RE: Latest Delivery - EdK - 04-09-2016
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.

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.
