This article covers a device used in Machining. As there does not appear to be enough independently-sourced material for a standalone article, the few facts that might be independently sourced should be included in the Machining section. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:03, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello Dan,

I do agree with you that there is too much personal opinion in this article, and I would like to get a chance to correct that.

I am working on the side on this, and welcome any help I can get, and that is why I have started this live online, in the hopes I would get some help from pierce. I have been working 30 years in this field, and the article as it stands now, is nothing more then the beginning of a draft, doesn't even cover a fraction of the entire subject yet, and will take me by my self probable a couple months or longer to complete.

I have also asked companies I have done business with to give me material, pictures etc. that I would like to post, and I am waiting on copyright wavers on those. These are big companies and thinks take time.

So if you can't give me the time to actually work on this live, on the website, with an in construction heading then feel free to delete it. I have a backup, can work on it offline, and can forward you the completed article when I am done. What I can't recommend is that you combine this with the "Overview of machining technology" article. As it says, that article is just an overview, where as this is a branch, and will easily stand it's own by the time it is done. I'll be also glad to write a shorter version for the overview page later as well.

Best regards,
