Just to let you all know...I've been a machinist all of my working years until recently, when my plant closed and I went back to college on the Govt's nickel. I know how things are made by looking at them and and I can see right away when things are done hastily, sacrificing quality, just to make a buck. The supposed "hot shot" stainless 1/4x28 nipples I purchased from TOW were absolutely NASTY with burrs...it took me twenty minutes or so to clean them up with needle files just to bring them to what I considered to be "useable"....LET THE BUYER BEWARE!!!!
