Would you like to borrow mine?


tilly819 - 28/4/09 at 11:51 AM

Could do, i actualy already have one but i put it in the laithe to turn down the shank and found it was hardened and made abit off a mess off it so a friend off mine has it to take it to his college to do it on a cylindrical grinder but he isnt very reliable and could take him AGES.
what makes it even more anoying is i found a 5-20 mm chuck for my milling machine the other day and iff i hadnt made a mess of it in the laith i could have just held it in that *DOH*
oops i seem to have writen an essay

I didn't reply straight away, cos it took me four hours to read your post...

Let me know if you want it - Just send me a U2U with your address etc and I'll post it to you unless you are going to Stoneleigh?
