sgord521 Lathe Tool Cutter Height Setter Gage
« on: December 02, 2010, 03:06:37 PM »
Hi there,

Would anyone know if the above product is imported into the UK by a Dealer and/or has anyone used one on a Mini-Lathe (Chester Conquest etc) with standard QCTP's as supplied? Seems like a pretty neat gadget to me.

Cheers now, Paul Lazenby

Hi Bill,

I can't be bothered to make Tools unless it's specific to the job in hand, not enough time for engineering projects as it is. I just wondered about being able to buy them in the UK. But thanks for the suggestion. Paul

Just use your 6" scale.

A Gismo ??? If it has a flywheel or spins and is made with small parts. I'll take one! If it makes noise, moves, or requires frequent oiling and dusting it's a better deal yet. It's especially right if its shiny and bright; but if it's dirty and dull it wont mater at all...
