Thanks. Hope they help in some way or another. My quick change tool post and tool holders are size 0XA. Good luck with your new lathe.

@ Thanks so much. Take care.

After closer look, totally agree.

My son said the same thing about the magnifier, which in my opinion, is the real (no pun intended, as this absolutely is a fake/clone and I'm not trying to say it's anywhere near the real McCoy) "deal" here. Would I put this on a long pew pew I need to run with? No way. Airsoft or PCP long pew pew? Why not.

@ReLoadersBench I actually purchased that to just tinker with and see what happened. Messed up the glass so trashed it. Mine had the logo like the real deal, but the NV button was a giveaway because it changed from red to green. I do use the magnifier, so I'm not mad

and jumped over to your channel to see how you do it...and to no surprise...you don't. Imagine that. Seems all the experts on how to make a YT video have no content of their own as an example. Gotta love the keyboard critics.

sounds like you need to call a whambulance...

That's simple. I don't trust ANY company selling EOTECH/Aimpoint (or any other high end optic/holo/sight), so I always verify the serial numbers (real products have them) with the vendor to confirm authenticity. Also, I will only purchase this type of REAL gear from known/trusted sources (e.g., Brownells, MidwayUSA, etc.). Rain forest has SO many fakes, but if willing to use them, make sure FREE RETURNS.

Oh I'll mount it on something and take it to the range for fun just to see. My real interest is in the magnifier, however.

Range report will be my next long winded report/video.

Nice to know some things are still made in the U.S.A.

No surprise at all. Essentially a Hollywood prop.

They are not "just as good" and if you think they are you're either blind or just don't have the real thing to compare it to. Wait till it gets wet or you drop it although I get the feeling most of the people who buy this kind of stuff will use it once and then hang it on their wall to look at and never use again. Plus you're supporting the theft of intellectual property when you buy products like this from shady sources on Temu. There are plenty of good reasons why this is actually illegal in America and reputable retailers won't knowingly carry knock offs of American products. Streamlight and EOTECH spent lots of time and money to develop these products and provide paychecks to American workers. The owner of the factory in China that made these cheap fakes isn't going to spend the money you gave them on developing next gen red dots and lights, or even pay a fair wage to its workforce. There are absolutely amazing less expensive options out there when it comes to optics these days, so why support theft from American businesses? Because you covet the logo? To convince your friends you're a "cool guy" and bought the real thing? It's just a sad and pathetic reason to support theft. Save a couple more shekels and get the real thing if you love the brand so much you would buy a knock off just for the logo. This sad mentality and shady business practices are part of the reason why these products cost so much in the first place and why so many American jobs get "shipped over seas" BUY AMERICAN!!! or don't, like I said there are lots of great inexpensive options out there, but don't support the theft of American ideas or spew this nonsense that these knock offs are the same thing or somehow equal to real American products... Especially with that flag in background of your profile picture, you should be ashamed of yourself brother.

Even better. I thought it was a good combo deal at $100. For $55...a steal as long as you realize what you are buying.

lol I was thinking the same thing

if you go to TEMU dot com and search for "eotech sight with magnifier combo" you'll see the available versions.

Thanks, it was truly a labor of love...expensive love, LOL.

Black Friday sale doe 55$ now

Maybe I should have shown the red/green reticle at its highest and lowest settings. I run my EOTECHs with just enough visibility to overlay the target, not wash it out. This clone/knockoff is just as bright (and just as barely visible on its lowest/lower settings) as my real EOTECHs. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't pick it up so well. Again, for $100 I can't complain. It's definitely better than any of my no name cheapie red dot sights, that's for sure.

Ummm, what do you expect, it's a low end/budget "solution" on a low end/budget mini lathe? I got what I paid for and I'm satisfied with that. Machining is a hobby at best for me, not an activity where I derive my livelihood.

And the reason to test an obvious fake product is? Especially when the price was almost the same as the OEM. Do you hear yourself? Stupid comment. Knowingly purchasing a knockoff or clone for MUCH less $ would have been a reason to spend time on a review. That wasn't the case. Maybe you should try making a video for your channel, Jerry, instead of trolling channels that are actually posting work/content.

That storage rack is made by Whalen. Picked up at Costco.

The only Taser model that shipped with that specific battery pack was the Pulse Plus (+). From what I am able to find, or rather, not find, they are basically unobtanium. Shame.

Reminded me of a car salesman...only interested in "helping" me if I was going to purchase...otherwise his time/effort wasn't worth it. These folks don't realize their jobs depend on folks not taking the easier path of not driving to their local BB, but instead staying home and clicking the mouse a few times, adding items to their cart and having them conveniently delivered to their door relatively quickly all for the same price or lower.

Wait until you see the finished version. Came out way beyond expected or hoped. Truly amazing machine now with a second life.

My recent overpriced, IMO, pick up is definitely vintage!

No doubt. Gotta sell a LOT of primers at $100/brick to break even on $100,000,000 investment!

Never stop learning about reloading!

The "Colt NH" treatment was $2k at that time

Totally agree! Old doesn't mean bad, it just means old, LOL. If the components were well stored over time there should be no issues as you've discovered.

Wow, that's crazy pricing!
