I'm struggling to find a set of metric split-collar stops that start at



4mm. Rutlands have one but the postage (£7) is rather extortionate for something light that only costs £10. I know I can use tape, or a wooden block, or make something but in this case I'd prefer to buy. Any suggestions?

(OOI here's the Rutlands set:

I did have a quick search, AliExpress seems to specialise in Imperial sizes (presumably for the American market), ironically the only place I found a full metric set was America, with even more expensive shipping than Rutlands.

Plenty of non-split collar types, if you have an Axminster store locally they do a single 10mm collar that's mainly for their benchdog cutter ...

Thanks for trying

The non-split type just don't work as well.

Thanks, but the split type work much better. I'll have to find something else on the Rutland site to justify the postage ;-)
