Hell guys I could buy two Drill Press's and put one of my Reaming Fixtures on them for less then $600.00.  Mitchell must think that every os as stupid as he is if he every thinks that anybody would every think of buying one of those things,  $600.00  Is a lot of money for a reaming machine just to ream out hosels.   When you could just go out and buy a VERY WELL BUILT DRILL PRESS and be able to use it on other things, a dedicated hosel reaming station is just crazy for any clubmaker, just plain crazy.  My Drill Press has a 5" stroke  it and I paid only $234.00 for it around two years ago, not a 3 1/16 inch stroke but a full 5 inchs   RK   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 2:45 PM Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] Re: ShopTalk: Mitchell Hosel Boring Machine David: Thanks for the information!

TIA HStill   It was really nice, hard mounts to your bench, and has a handle like a throttle on a 747 for pushing the head into the rotating reamer or drill or what ever bit you have chucked and I could use one every day and really wanted it, but it was over $600.00 bucks as I recall and I just didn't want to spend it. It goes on the wish list for now. David
