Default RE: Do they really cost more???

I bought it for cheap on EBAY. I use TiCN Coated carbide tools for milling, flood it with soapy water...extends the life of the tools. For cutting blocks, I use a boron coated blade because the G10 FR4 is so abrasive.

I contacted the company above [link=http://www.jjorly.com]www.jjorly.com[/link] and they mentioned that sell smaller pieces and packages of 25 random sizes for carb block applications, probably from over runs of machined parts.

I do a lot of custom work for RC Hot Rods, some planes / helicopters. As far as actually even driving an RC, I rarely get into the "fun" side. I'm more into the design, concept and customization of the mechanical structures of the vehicle and have a lot of friends who are born enthusiasts with RC racing. I'm also a stand in crew chief for races to help people get their cars back in the race if the damage isn't too extensive. I really enjoy it.
