Greg do you have an AXA tool post from a different maker/ supplier?
I am wondering as I bought mine from CDCO a few years ago, and want some more tool holders.

My tool post is a DTM wedge type out of the US.
I would think AXA dovetail dimensions are standardised but who knows.
Cheers,
Greg.
I need some carbide burrs of reasonable quality, where do you buy yours

For many years I have been after a proper sized magnetic chuck for my surface grinder. I did purchase a second hand one and found out you never buy a second hand magnetic chuck unless you can test it in person. Someone had pulled it apart and the alnico magnets had lost a substantial bit of their power because of it. Otherwise the chuck was really nice. Unfortunately getting the magnets rezapped means a trip to Melbourne. Freight is not cheap.
I found Magpro2015 on ebay and asked about a 6X18 mag chuck. He said he could import one on his next order. Gave me a solid price and freight. It was $350 delivered. I said go ahead with the import and several months later he contacted me and said it had arrived and I bought it through his ebay shop. It was delivered by TNT and I have got it today. It is really nice, putting a micrometer to measure parallelism and the outside measures all under 0.01mm difference. The finish is superb. It is a fine pole chuck but things stick very well to it.
Quite happy.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but couldn't think where else it might go
Ebay is having a 18% tonight so was thinking I'll go shopping and tried to go to the MagPro2015 store to see if they had anything I wanted

Anyone know what the go is ? Their website still works but that doesn't mean much these days
He is still very much in business but has taken his ebay store down for some reason. I bought some stuff off him last week. If you pm me ill give you his email.
I have been talking to Felix from Magpro and he had issues with Ebay, so he is currently building a new website and you will be able to buy direct from it. It was supposed to be operational last week but he is still having issues.
Rgds,
Crocy.
Got a got number or email for magpro?
edit: found the web site at last: M&G Productions Australia Pty Ltd
Hey all, Felix has got the new website working with prices that look real good, just need to check if his freight deals are any better.

I ordered some carbide 4 flute endmills from Maritool in the USA on 4/12/17. They arrived today 12/12/17. Excellent service and very easy seller to deal with. Very nice looking and the cutting edge grinds look excellent. American made and mid price range mills used in industry. I am over cheap asian imports failing.

Bolts and Industrial are offering a good deal on Pferd emery tape until the end of June. 50m rolls either 25mm or 50mm wide in grits from 320 to 40, the deal is buy 3 and get a fourth roll free. I got 4 rolls of 25mm today for a tad less then $70.

Just a reminder in a months time ebay will be charging you GST on overseas purchases.
Here's a Douglas shaper for an absolute bargain!

He also has a really nice steelfast bandsaw that I'm sure he would sell to you for a mere $3400 Plus gst.
