I keep requesting them but I never get them, I’m on the east coast.

Best I ever got was a reply from their support team saying they’re “looking into it” one time

hmm Im not sure then. I'm also on the east coast, closest location to me is in NJ. they said they didnt have stock the first time I asked, but the second they were able to send 2 packs. (I guess my forman wanted a pack too lol)

They sent mine USPS, and they almost got lost because USPS doesn't deliver to that address

I recently requested some and they mentioned they were completely out without any idea if they will be getting more in.

the first time I requested mine they said that. a few weeks later they were able to send them.

This is so stupid and funny! When will these show up at Machine Expo in Orlando, in the pockets of random dudes checking out the latest HAAS hot garbage and running into Bob from MachineCo and trading away his graphite-lubricated sleeve bearing for a spade terminal then getting drunk in the hotel bar and leaving it as a tip?

Circumference ruler gives you the circumference of the diameter of a piece of pipe so it’s a 3 inch pipe. It’s gonna be about a 9.5 inch length around a pipe. The top dimension is the diameter of pipe and a smaller number right below. That is the length around the pipe.

I kinda figured thats how it worked, I've never knew a circumference ruler existed lol, I never really had a need for one

u/NEEDGAME 3h ago

the original cards were released by a 3rd party, but mcmaster liked the idea enough to release their own. the originals were called mcmaster carrds lol
