aRM - this is exactly why this is the forum that I spend 99% of my time on. There is none of the crap that exists on some of the other forums and nobody here cares whether you have the latest CNC machining centre or a Chinese drill/mill.

I, like you, have benefited immensely from the knowledge, experience, generosity and willingness to help from the members on this site. I have gotten far more than I am able to give back, but I try where I can. For most (probably all, now that I think about it), the satisfaction of being able to help someone else is reward enough. I've also been fortunate enough to meet several members over the past few years and they are some of the most upstanding people I have met. I certainly hope to have the opportunity to meet more when the opportunities arise.

We may be a small community but what we lack in numbers, we make up for in community spirit and the willingness to share and help.

This has been an interesting and informative thread to read and I can see how helpful it has been to you and your sons. As Ken has said, the cutters and the inserts do not come cheap but the increased productivity and reduced man hours will pay for them many times over. My Dad always use to say that tools are only expensive if you lose them (or they get stolen).
