    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.
