Richard,
I have one with a wiggly screw thing but I reached the
stage where I have ceased to patronise the cheap jacks.
My four way tool holder( non Myford) is destined for a 'the Museum
for White Elephants.
Somebody else commented about his Myford( type) fixed steady- from----
Oh, dear, a Bridge over Troubled Waters?

Wasn't it Ruskin who commented long before us?

As the US Federal Bank cuts the bank rate by a further half of one
percent and the Stock Exchange is still showing losses- apart from
food supermarkets, John Ruskin's words are :-
There is hardly anything in this world that some man cannot make a
little worse and sell a little cheaper, and those who buy by price
alone are this man's lawful prey.


Cheers

Norm

Ay up Norm you are turning this thread into financial politics mixed
with literary greats ;-) None of which is telling me how hard my
toolholders should be ;-)

Richard, you have two choices.
The first is to case harden and grind the end result.
The second is to grind your teeth and live with them!

I mean , I could go into the Sale of Goods Act 1893 but
there are bigger problems to tackle.

I suffer from Bruxism almost silently.

Quite.

If they are claimed to be hardened and ground then should be file hard
or at least very hard to touch with a file. Send them back PDQ with a
snotty letter and tell us where you got them.
