Re: Flattening chisel backs!

Yeah, i think it is safe to say I will trade for it, since you are in Australia.

I paid 100 dollars for this KO Lee that was a really nice but rather big one in baby blue. I flipped that for 200 which was a steal for the guy that got it, and I got given my current KO Lee by the guy who sourced my metal shaper, who also worked at the place I got the lee. I got a lot of free stuff with the first KO Lee, metal, the flat piece of cast I use for diamonds, two large milling machine tables. A box of dull mill bits of awesome quality. Carbide metal scrapers for 25 dollars. Bridge rules, Buffalo forge drill press, cast iron ways rules, cast iron spotting in surface plate. On and on. If you ever find some Germans retiring from machine restoration, back up the truck...
