End mill depth 'stop' rings

[HankMcSpank]

Thanks matey - I've rattled off an email to the first link (MOQ 500! How about a group buy?!)

Re crownhill - 60p a piece (+ postage?!) for one of those is just taking the complete p1ss.

Re buying pre-fitted used cutters - that would slim the potential sources down a lot (& therefore price goes up!) also,l I have bought heaps of cuttters already so would now like to retrofit them.

Else as you say, I'll just make some.

For those like me - who until very recently didn't know the 'win' - these rings save faffing about with things like 'auto tool' setting in Mach3 - because you can set the rings to a known preset distance from the tip of the tool, when you insert the cutting tool with one into your spindle - in conjunction with a Z plane homing switch - you always know how far your spindle has to plunge to be exactly to atop of your workpiece Iie Z0) - presently, I'm having a right old faff when chaging out cutters setting this Z0 aspect up - this'll be luxury in comparison.

Ok, do you think I could get 9 other people interested in buying 50 plastic rings per person for £5.00 delivered in total (vs approx £9 delivered for just 10 rings from Crownhill!)

If not, I'll offload the other 450 on Ebay!

Cool...just another 8 people to 'buy in'!

By the way - they're all gonna be white & for an 1/8" end mill shaft.

As my way of giving a little something back to the forum - I'll do all the donkey work...ordering the 500 rings up, collecting money (paypal only!). counting em out, jiffy bagging them up, then Post office queuing! - actually my missus will do the last bit!).

Just wondering if it'd be worth posting up a 'Group Buy' proposal on the for sale forum - not sure how many people would see this propsal here?
