Those 1/2'' B&S Edge Finders looks good BC. I like to get NOS tooling from the USA as well but trying to get the Ebay sellers to use USPS Flat Rate Boxes for small items is becoming a problem, they just want to use the Ebay calculated shipping prices which are ridiculous sometimes. Just for comparison, what was the shipping cost on the cardboard box for those edge finders?

Until I blunted it on Stainless, this style of drill worked really well:
A stubby form (like a centre drill) would be more rigid, but these had a better drilling action?

USA shipping
Hi Techo.
This lot cost me $28.00 del.
In the past I have used Shippit it to me. $10USD a month gets u a USA postal address for up to 3 months. They consolidate what you buy in the states and each purchase costs $10 local del. Then ship it here at 70% off del price. When I bought 3kg of end mills Auspost would have delivered for $38 thru Shippit to me.
Regards
BC
