Howard sorta reminds me of Johnny Carson in his used car salesman
schtick. Howard is of course more reserved....

Nice guy all and all. Dana is a young guy..inherited the business
(and Howard) from his father. Howard isnt much on price
crunching..Dana is the guy to talk to you if you want a down and dirty
price. Dont tell Howard I said this however.....

Did you deal with Howard or Dana? I do a fair amount of business in
there for my clients..didnt know they were on Ebay yet. Got my Airco
Squarewave 300 as commission for selling some machines for them.
The Harrison tool and cutter grinder was outback collecting rust..next
time you go in...wander out to the back 40 and check under the
rust..some interesting stuff back there....

Personally..Id use a magnet.. Or simply drill and tap for a short
setscrew. Shrug.

Ive got a Lassey with the built in "vise" but have used that one..and
as another poster said..the stock pin locations really dont cut it.
1/4" pins on 1" centers is good for small stuff. Unless you have a
small machinists vise....
