I bought this set a couple years ago. They come in very handy from time to time.
My Harbor Freight arbor press doesn't have the reach I need so I used the air/hydraulic press at work. The first pass went swimmingly. I was watching the pressure gauge as there is no feel. I installed the .030" shim on the second pass, got about half way and blammo.
I know these are extremely brittle and probably not the highest quality. But dang.
Now I have a stuck piece and a half finished part with no more broach!
McMaster wants $80 for one.
Oh what's a hobby-machinist to do???
