re: Axles

I got lucky and stumbled upon a Stanley with a full set of cutters for $200 right before the prices really exploded.  I almost broke a finger clicking the buy it now button on ebay before someone else got it.  It had a couple of broken cutters but fortunately I found someone making replicas and got a few replacements.  Unfortunately, they are no longer in business.  It is a little fiddly getting the cutter dialed in just right with accurate sizes (close anyway) and with the long gaps between using it, it sometimes takes a couple of practice pieces to get it cutting cleanly without a lot of tearout.
