This wasnt my experience. Dave even got on the phone with me for an hour or so helping me work through the details of my build so I got the right reamer.
There was a thread here a while back that was just about 50 pages long of people ranting about PTG. Just wait a few, those people will post here soon.
Quite a few of them are industry pros, too, and not merely humble hobby machinists like myself.
I remember LRI was a strong defender of PTG in that thread. Obviously they order a ton of tooling. Chad later made his own thread officially washing his hands of PTG over repeated fuckups. Good on him for coming back with that.
Thanks! Manson it is, unless their lead time is longer. I've dealt with PTG once, ordered (and thought I had paid for) a throat reamer it. Got just the reamer, no handle, etc. Called, talked to the same guy I had talked to the first time. He remembered that I wanted the Kit not just the reamer. Had them ship the rest of the kit, but they charged me FULL price for the handle and stuff, rather than the adjusted kit price, and they charged me shipping (again). All done with PTG.
Then you've already beaten the odds. Consider yourself very fortunate and don't tempt fate again or you will find out what the rest of us already have about dealing with PTG.
