is the SPM-29P on harry epsiein's site the same as the "recommended mechanics set" 66820 from the first of the postings?

Short answer - Yes

the spm-29P has the round screw on lid plastic index box

the SPM-29 is the same drill bits in a regular metal index box

Are you asking if anyone is interested in organizing a group buy or are you going to organize it?

If you're organizing it, it would've been much less confusing to start a new thread rather than the first post have old info. Most people don't bother reading the dates.

I imagine he was thinking the OP would pipe in and say yeah, let's do it again...

(*cough*) i have not looked at the other sets people might be interested in, but there are several sources of the 66820/SPM-29/SPM-29P sets floating around, all within a few dollars of the price in the original part of this thread.

i guess what i am getting at, poorly, i know, is that for this to really be a deal, the price for that set would need to be substantially less than the price listed previously.

(*cough*)

You are right there are many dreamers around that just go nuts over the word deal when there is no deal... laughable A deal starts at 30%, real deals go from there.

Show me a deal on this set I would be in, 115 Piece HSS Black Oxide Finish 118° Drill Set Not holding my breath just saying.

There can always be a group buy put together. You just need to know what you want. The Norseman catalog can be downloaded. They have most everything that one can want.

There were quite a few past threads put together with lots of questions and lots of answers. The last group buy was quite a while. I would have to check to see if their pricing has changed.

If you want something, post the part number so we can gauge the interest. Thanks

I reached out to Patrick. He will check on prices and get back with me. We could do another group buy around Labor Day.

That's where I'm at too. I looked at the pricing from the start of this thread on what I was interested in and compared it to pricing available now, and didn't see any significant savings, certainly nothing to get drills any closer to the top of my to-buy list.

^^ Maybe you guys are seeing similar pricing on the most common jobber sets, but I'm not finding it on the screw machine sets. The group buy prices were:

66490 75.00 screw machine length 1/16-1/2
66850 89.00 screw machine length letter
23560 68.00 screw machine length wire #1-60

whereas the best I see online is $99 each incl. shipping:

Many of us who run machine tools like the screw machine length, as they are a lot more rigid and one rarely needs the extra length.

I would love to see a group buy on these...

EDIT: the Black Oxide or TiNi versions would be fine, too -- I think most of us who machine are indifferent about coatings (except the guys running production). Definitely prefer the metal cases, though!
43730 Black Oxide screw machine length 1/16-1/2
43750 Black Oxide screw machine length wire #1-60
?????? Black Oxide screw machine length Letter set
