*FS* lathe bits/center drill
 
I have the following:

2ea. Armstrong lathe bits 86-561
2ea. Armstrong lathe bits 86-559
1ea. HHS #2 center drill
2ea. HHS #4 center drill

Everything is brand new. How's $25 for the lot sound? NJ

About a factor of 5 too high. GWE

You'd be better of with a size description than the numbers you listed.
Few of us are likely to have an Armstrong catalog. What size are they?
1/4" square?

Jeeze, Harold! He hoped you wouldn't ask.

They are 5/16. The 561 is round nose turning, the 559 is LH turning

Put 'em on ebay, they'll bring what they're worth there.

Ron, your prices are ridiculous. Put them on ebay, if you have a credit card and
an ebay seller's account and can figure out how. You'll get a real education.

Selling anything on eBay for less than about $20 is a net loss for the
seller. You might be better off keeping them in a drawer or selling them
at a local yard sale.

Yes, but when nobody bid or they bid it up to only $1 or so (all that a few used
no-name lathe bits are worth) then the OP would realize that he isn't MSC and
can't charge their prices and maybe (hopefully) stop bugging us. - GWE

Me thinks Ron isnt aware of the real world and how a bit of judious
shopping can make it really affordable.

Reliable Tools sells the same sort of thing..for $4 a pound.

Just one source, of hundreds

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

Ok, you got me. I will get with the times. Thanks for bringing me into

Ron,

It's not that your prices aren't reasonable if one is buying new, from a
dealership. They ask, and get, those prices. Luckily for those of us that
have home shops, there are sources that sell equipment for bargain prices.
I can't speak for others, but if I had to pay full price for my provisions,
I'd likely abandon my machines now that I've retired.

Nice going.
