Anyone seen a deal on CXA tool holders?  Needing some #2's, import preferably.

Shars wanted to kill me on shipping, ebay only had a few.

MSC gives a discount, but you gotta spend a lot of $ to get it

KBC is okay,  but their website sucks

And the code doesn't work on anything that I recently ordered, with my Enco pricing. The good days are over.

Also, their super saver shipping that Enco customers get by default did come quicker than advertised. I ordered late 7/5 and it showed up at my work today.

i got the email and activated my account. the prices are definitely different once you log in, at least for the part I was looking at. it dropped about 25%, but i miss the Enco free shipping and discount codes.

(it works on both MSC and Enco, it's the same thing, a draw-bar hammer)

Enco shows $19.95 and MSC $37.90

$24.26 - strange some prices are higher and some are less. because the tool set i was looking at was higher on Enco's site but only by a dollar.

Or you could just buy a rubber mallet at Walmart... only 3.96 each. Does the same thing...

Besides I found R8 collets doesn't really require any whacking.

CDCO - much like Shars but a smaller outfit does stock CXA sets with toolpost, or individual CXA turning & facing or Turning and boring holders for $18-19. In AXA and BXA they sell any of the holder styles that are available in the set.

CDCO Lathe tooling page

I have been buying the AXA and BXA sizes for about 6 years from CDCO, recently it appears they have a new source and the holders are larger, better finished, but have gone down from 10mm set screws to 8mm. I like the new ones, its just a pain to need 2 different Allen type wrenches for the same series tool holders. BTW any time you order from them, throw in a center drill set p/n 44501. This is a #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 C-Drill set for only $6 and it usually won't add anything to your shipping cost.

No relation other than a mostly satisfied customer - sometimes it will seem like they misplaced your order and the next day UPS will show up with a heavy box.

Yep I'm going to be missing Enco badly.

I kept a running list on my ipod touch of items I needed from Enco, and when a 15-20% off + free shipping code popped up I would order the entire list... Lather, rinse, repeat.

My home shop is a bit over the top compared to most as I have 4 mills and 4 lathes. 2 mills are factory CNC and a third is in process of a retrofit. I have a CNC turning center and will be doing retrofits on 2 other lathes. My sinker EDM is still in several different creates waiting for the mythical "spare" time to be put back together since my move. I will likely wire up the heat treat oven tonite. Still Jonesing for a good surface grinder as I hate having to drive 42 miles to use my uncles.

I go through Mobile Vactra #2 like you would not believe.  Enco's discount and free shipping was the bomb for ordering 3x 5 gal. Same goes for soluble oil, I use Rustlick WS5050 and that disappears faster than the free beer at a company BBQ.

Lastly, when you only needed a few feet of odd sized material, you could order 3-4ft lengths and have them at your door in a day or 2.

I opened my MSC account in 92, but I have been an Enco customer since 1980 in the bad old buyer beware days when much of what they sold wasn't worth the shipping cost. But the other hidden gems made it all worth while.

Well back to work, that O1 won't turn its self.

Just get an optical scale. They are extremely accurate but the drawback is they cannot be cut to fit

You can get a 3 axis Sino scale from ebay for around 500 dollars including shipping. Scale can be up to 1000mm so that will cover just about any mill out there. The only thing you get with Shooting Star is "Made in USA/Canada" if that means anything to you. The optical scale is at least 5 micron accuracy, there are 1 micron scales out there too. They are accurate enough that you can not only use it for mills, but also grinder and EDM machines.

HGR is like the abandoned gold mine that still holds a few treasures.

Maybe 5 years back or so when they first started selling online (ebay) I bought a bunch of tool holders from them. Good deals.

HGR is huge - and the best way is to show up for a Saturday early bird sale and walk the isles and be ready to make cash offers.

That is a bit hard for me living in CO and HGR being in OH.
