I bought an Aloris CXA #1 directly from Aloris. $94.26 delivered.

At these prices, I will now need to make do with the number of CXA tool holders that I have.



The only reason I bought this CXA #1 is so that the bump centering tool that I will make this weekend will have a permanent home.

Does Aloris direct have the 20% sale too?

@Aukai Yes, 20% off sale on the Aloris website.

Well i bought gage blocks last weekend and this is what i got from ebay.
Not very happy. The box has been beaten up as well. No protection. Just floating around. Needless to say i am after some sort odf refund or something bc this is not ok

How hard is it to stuff a couple of napkins, crumpled newspaper, or corrugated cardboard in a box? Not correctly packed for transportation by common carrier. That is not ok. Your seller has a responsibility to pack the box adequately for shipment. They did not.

I cut up old boxes for packing. They are free, easy to shape, and light. Pieces of cardboard are also useful for a throw away work surface.

I forgot to post this! I got this absolutely ludicrous endmill as a part of a lot. I think it's a 2" Niagara rougher with a 1-1/4" shank. I weighed it and it came in at just under 1.6 kilos.

I have absolutely no way of using this crazy thing, but I love it and I'm happy I bought it.

I don't know, you could mount it in your lathe chuck and chew up something!!

I have the CXA size lathe also. Don't be afraid of Shars tool holders. I have several and they work just fine for me.

You didn't get that from eBay. You got it from an inconsiderate (at a minimum) seller.
I think it's incredible that "Was the item safely packaged?" isn't a star rating in Feedback. It should have been from the beginning.
Such things have happened to me too many time.
The kindest interpretation I can come up with, to describe that kind of mindless packaging, is that the seller has never received such a package.
Alternatively, they may be sociopathic without any concern to protect the condition and value of your purchase.
***end rant***

Sorry for your troubles.
Request a return and get a 100% refund.
Buy something else such as:
