Darex E-90, to Precision Machinist
I hate to do this. It shrinks my dick.
PM, you were right about the Darex E-90. I've owned it for a year or so. I've used it just often enough to become capable (but hardly proficient) in its use. Most of the time, my TIME is worth enough that when I need a new cutter, I just order one. The only times the Darex has proven its worth is when the last cutter of a particular size has gotten dull or chipped, and I needed it ASAP (because I'm far enough out in the boons to have to order- out for everything). It works _really_well_, and I don't regret having it. But you were completely correct about its general usefulness in a working shop. I think it's a better tool for an amateur who doesn't have time pressures. But then, it's a little costy for that; no? LLoyd |

If you look at this this way (and I do) it's an invaluable tool. |

They're still a very handy tool, Lloyd, and it should serve you well especially when it concerns tools over say, 1/2in or so in diameter and where the surface finish is not overly critical...this is especially true if you don't have a grind shop nearby. |

: .this is especially true if you don't have a grind shop nearby. Yup, and two things: 1) the cost of big cutters is enough to justify the time, and 2) I don't have _any_ kind of _any_ decent suppliers nearby. Ace Hardware, 11 miles away, (which is pretty well-stocked with welding supplies) comes as close as anything. G Lloyd |

G I'm pretty much in the same boat, with downtown Portland, OR being about 40 miles south. I really need to stay on top of things lest I wind up having to buy from McMaster which although their service is second to none, is pricey. |
