OK, OK\u2026 I have kept this to myself for far too long.<\/p>\n

There are lots of wonderful micro machine shop sites on the internet. One of them at the top of my list is called Micro-Machine Shop<\/a>. Duh? I guess that\u2019s not too hard to remember\u2026<\/p>\n

The old site URL was\u00a0http:\/\/www.finelinehair.com\/home\/index.htm<\/a>. That’s gone away. \u00a0I didn’t know what fine line hair meant; I assumed it could be something to do with ultra precise measurement.\u00a0 Alan is a stickler for that, as a machinist should. I shortened the URL and it (he) is linked from a large hair products salon.<\/p>\n

Yep, the creator of the site is named Alan. I haven\u2019t found his surname yet (I did. Pinkus), but it may be buried in there somewhere. Maybe he just likes to be more private than myself. No matter, Alan publishes a wonderful site for us machine tool addicts.<\/p>\n

Somehow I think Alan has more tools and variations and measuring devices than actually exist in the world. Just take any major supply catalog like J&L, Enco, etc. and order one of each on every page. He must own both companies. In any case, he doesn’t have a big investment in full size machines (hence the name \u201cmicro-machine shop\u201d) but there is no shortage of accessories.<\/p>\n

Many getting started machinist ask me what machines are best for the money they have. You will see here it is not the machines that require the most money; it is what you add to them. Alan has far more money and time than I can ever hope to invest.<\/p>\n

Did I mention his photography is nothing less than extreme topnotch? \u00a0Alan does in pictures what I do in words. In other words, about 1000 time more.<\/p>\n

This is a highly recommended machine tool site to visit and bookmark. You will be very pleased I finally told you, but perhaps you already knew\u2026<\/p>\n

UPDATE: New URL<\/span><\/p>\n
