Can someone suggest a good 35mm lapping bar. They don't seem to be too common. I have Wheeler's 25mm and 30mm already. I just need a 35mm.
Thanks,

SJ,
Thank you, their kits are priced higher than expected, but after reading their material, they make some good points challenging traditional "pointers", and they have some nice options. That is my first time to see a pointer rod as part of a kit.

Joe,
Thanks, I was actually looking at that kit. I like the idea of it, but not sure I can swing the $$.
SJ, I am a couple of months too late. I have/had a buddy who is/was a machinist who just went out of business. I have one more option, but thought I would look retail also.
Thanks for the replies.

Re: 35mm lapping bar
I have the 35mm Kokopelli kit that i've used once. If you just need to use it for a project I can ship it to you for you to use... if you are looking for one I will consider just selling you the kit if you are interested.

Re: 35mm lapping bar
Get a Kokopelli kit if you can swing the $$$. I thought twice about spending that kind of money on it but when you look at what you have invested in the glass it is a no-brainer. I bed the base (Badger) and still give the rings (Badger or equiv.) a few strokes. It is worth it!!!

doubled,
I sent you a PM. You have two very generous offers. I should have known you were a North Texan. I grew up around Lake Texoma.
Everyone else, thank you for your intel.
