Fourthright At least it was not "Four Score and Seven Years ago". Any time you wait longer than 6 weeks you should inquire to someoone who can check the status of your order, ie: Kathleen or Kory. If you speak to Dave personally and ordersomething it may get left on his desk and missed. Dave...

Using a Micrometer Adjustable reamer Stop with a flush system Folks: The Micrometer Adjustable Reamer Stop is made of tool steel and is laser engraved. It will work with or without a flush system. I would recomend you reduce your flush to 5-10 pounds of pressure on your final cuts. Because it...
