He wouldn't send them to Ed, nor did he want to pony up the bucks to have
them tested at a metrology laboratory. As a disinterested observer and
sometime participant in the debate, with access to some precision gear,
I volunteered to test them. So he sent them to me, and I tested them.

Google for my post titled "Sample Testing Results (long)" on 20 Nov 2002. You
may find some of the followups to be entertaining.

Thanks folks...... this is still a great place (in spite of the ever present
electricity questions <BSEG>.

You were using a copy of my world famous PalletBust'r, right???

After a time where I mostly just burned wood, I'm back...... I'm starting a
rather energetic renovation of my mobile home (no, where I live mobile homes
are a respected living option..... there are no starter homes and
fixer-uppers start at $150K CA).

Steel pilings, new rooms, new cabinets, new furniture...... gonna be a h*ll
of a ride for the next couple or so years 8^). But it has given me the
opportunity to acquire (and justify) new toys..... errrmmmm, I meant
tools....

If I p*ssed in anyones cornflakes in the past, I am truly sorry... sad part
is, I'll probably do it again...

I never heard the end of the argument between Ed Bennet and I-Furget about
the table saw cutting to 3 angstroms or sumthin. How did that end?
I-Furget was going to send some samples in to the NIST, right?

(BTW, I won the Starrett dial calipers Ed offered in the
close-tolerance, table saw cutting contest that emerged at the end of
the discussion. Thanks again Ed.)
