Thanks a lot! I'm just a basement-shop hobbyist... So I appreciate the compliment from someone who does machine work professionally.
The only thing I'm unable to do with these is properly lap the spindle and anvil faces. If I could do that, they'd be as good as, if not better than, new. But for my purposes, they work great as-is.
