The Home Machinist!

Send me a PM with what you need and I can see what I've got to spare.

I'd have to guess whatever the print calls for...

Still surprised no one has tried water jetting these leaf springs. I'll be doing this for my engines.

Some of us "youngsters" are in the field already :-) Where I work, a large casting facility for a large automotive manufacturer (read: owned and operated by large auto mfg), about 65% of our engineering team is < 35 years old. AFS is a nice resource to have. I have been to several of their training ...

For what its worth, you will probably spend more to find these items in smaller quantities than you would when you have a larger quantity. Besides, it pays dividends to buy the bulk pack, put it in a box marked "LOCO SPARE PARTS" and forget about it... until you need them, at which point you can wal...

Clarification... I took an airplane from Chicago to Harrisburg.

Do you plan to give it back?

Will you be attending as a vendor?

Tentatively sold....
