I ended up with these bars. I understand that this outfit went out of business 20 years ago or more. These are new old stock 3/8" shank bars, mostly C2 but one small HSS.

I assume they were made in the USA. Their appearance is good. I am wondering if they are decent quality and what their relative value is. For example, how might they compare to a Borite?

Do the angles look good? Have you tried taking a cut with them?

I had no idea there was another Mesa Tool & that old. The Mesa Tool that I know of makes great tools but they are in OR & don't seem to be a large mfg. I highly doubt they are the same co but I wonder if they are related somehow?

Will, they are not related. Just coincidence that the one in Oregon is called Mesa Tool, says the owner.

I called Mesa Tool in Oregon and he told me that this one in Oceanside, CA had evaporated over twenty years ago.
 
Regardless, they look like quality made boring bars though!
 
Yes, they look very well made. Maybe that is what put them under? Hoping someone here knows a bit about them.
