Default Rebuilding Dumore toolpost grinders (was: FA: Dumore Tool Post Grinder Inserts, ... )

In article , DoN. Nichols says...

I saw that one. Never heard of the company.


Nor did I. But it looks like one of the wartime unknowns which
got contracts to make a product known to come from a larger company --
simply because they could not turn them out in the quantities needed.
I've seen Tektronix scope clones made under such contracts -- they
looked almost identical to the Tektronix, other than the maker's name.


LOL. Tek was *not* happy when Hickock was given the plans and specs
for all the tektronix plug-ins, and the contracts to produce them.

I've worked on both kinds, the Hickock ones were strictly second
rate when it came to quality. Actually, third rate compared with
the originals! :^)
