Welcome aboard Rob and nice choice on the tool post. I have an Aloris AXA on my Hardinge and it is super well made. Where in Michigan are you from?

20 miles north and east of Tom puts you in my back yard. How far from Oxford?

Just about right for working around the mill vice and the like. 


Next up a rather nice 150mm 6"  Starrett combination square  , (Starrett being the inventor of such )

Nice haul Rob. Thumbsup

"The Art of Electronics" is a real good book. I cut my electronic teeth on it. Big Grin

By the way, not all of us are down on Chinese products.

Starrett's decline began immediately after their purchase of Lufkin and accelerated after its offshoring many products to China.  I will purchase American or European made used Starrett tools, but never any of their Chinese made offerings.

BTW, I have a Lufkin 0-1" micrometer.  Satin finish, X/10ths, carbide faces, friction thimble.  I bought it used at a Pawn Shop in San Diego in 1974 for $25.00 and it was the first mic I bought.  Still have it and it is like new.  Always passed certification and I wish I had a full set 0-6" Lufkin mics.
