the post office really screwed up when they said if it fits it ships. I bought a 8 inch lathe chuck off of ebay one time guess how it was shipped.

Two items arrived yesterday, the first with thanks to Darren and I've already touched up the thread on the Unimat with it;
The second from ebay to enhance my knowledge base before I attempt any of what the title says

Technically "used", but they never cut any metal. $49.00 for the T-slot cutters and $14.70 for shipping or $63.70 total. They have some surface rust and that's OK. Bought them for a project which only calls for one size of cutter, but at the price the set was way cheaper than the needed cutter alone.

These two boxes arrived from the other side of the country today:
After a few minutes (they were very well put together), these were revealed:
Not a bad trade for a metric thread file - Thanks Pete
Whilst I didn't get them for the cost of a thread file, I got them at a ridiculously low price, considering what I would pay new for this here in Australia. I won't say how good a deal but good enough to make me feel slightly guilty. OK - not for too long but guilty all the same. Shipping was very reasonable as well, coming in at less than $0.04 per km.

Glad the dividing head arrived safe and sound Darren- if not exactly in one piece! Looks like you've already done a bit of cleaning on it. Hope you figure out where all the bits go.
I'll be looking for a thread from you on making a replacement for the missing clip for the dividing fingers- the same part is missing from my universal and I need some inspiration.

Nope, just pulled it out of the box. I guess 3500 km of road rattles off some of the dust
