After all the time. After all the money. I may look at the finished project for a day or so... then it goes into the garbage can. Don't have anyone interested. Don't have anyone that even wants some of these things...AND I don't have room to keep this stuff in the shop OR in the home. This is...

I have (6) #76 [0.020] aircraft drills, 4" OAL. X 1/2" flute length. Never used. If anyone can use these drills, I'll package them up for you. They are in a hard plastic container and I will ship them in a bubble wrap envelope. If you wish to pay for the mailing, that would be as plus Toolroom...

Special thanks to Brian for your insight on the rotary table 'cause...

Chuck, During my 30year tenure in the machinist trade, I became interested in Dimensional Metrology, thus ending my trade there. Chinese Instruments may be cheap, but ... they are made cheaply also. The brass gears are extremely soft and the cases are also poor quality. My suggestion, is...

Rod, Good job! The bolt is refered to as a "Chicago Bolt." Smithy sells them for $3.50 for the AXA holders, albeit, they are much shorter. I've got one! Yours, however is much nicer looking, and should last a whole lot longer. Dinkin'
