Or they wanted to be like the vast majority of the manufacturing world and use the metric system.

Got this fly cutter today. Made in the USA with integral R8 shank. For what I paid for it I couldn't buy the raw materials to make it.

The Norton grinding wheels arrived today, after a brief time where they were lost. UPS delivered to the wrong lot number.
I ended up with 80 and 150 grit wheels.

Got a few of the larger mics that I've ocassionally needed.   6-7, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12.  I missed out on the 7-8 and 8-9 'cuze my damn browser crashed when I went to bid.   I think I'm still missing 5-6.  Once I know for sure I'll start watching out, I thought I had it but it wasn't in the drawer which leads me to think that I didn't have it.   I wasn't supposed to get the two larger ones, those were sent in error then they didn't want them back.

Actually no, it was Brave. Last thing I bid on I brought up firefox just for the bidding. Brave still seems a bit unstable, even if there's only one thing open. It's not perfect but better than firefox for multiple windows and tabs.

Nice set of large C-clamps there.

Any of them come with standards?

Ed, whom did you buy your bearings from? I found an ebay seller with a good price (considering the type of bearing) but they have really LOUSY feedback - mostly they never ship and then cancel your order. Not going to waste my time with them.
