... and Tom. Today I received a WoodPecker gauge block from Tom Walz. This was one of the gifts that Tom offered to those who participated in a particular thread not to long ago. I said 'thanks' to Emily, because I have a feeling that she is the one who actually got it into the mail.
This reminded me of a post I've been meaning to make. Awhile back Tom made a gift of some 'Wiha Precision Bits'. I've had a PH2 x 50 in my PS20 since the day I got it. It's been used quite a lot, in my hobbyist shop. It shows no wear except a little in the coating. This is good, but not what impressed me the most.
A week or two ago I finished a bunch of planter stands using quite a few solid brass Phillips screws. This bit fit so snuggly in the screw, that not once did it slip out of a screw. While this might be normal for many folks, for me and brass, this is a first.
Again, Thanks!
