I'd like 20 stoppers, a mandrel and a stub bit. I don't have any problem with the extra $1 per person. PM me with the actual total and I will pay right away.

 

[massmans]

with George7 order we are at 212. If you want to order some please post in the thread.

thanks

how close are you to the 300? I have to speak with the SHE-EO and see what the budget has.

 

[massmans]

Thanks to everyone with the vote to pay an extra dollar if needed. I will proceed with ordering our order after all payments are in, either Monday or Tuesday. Please have all payments in by Tuesday 9am CST. I will run the calculations and let you guys know if I need any extra amounts.

I'd be interested in buying 10. I don't know if I need the mandrel or not- do these have a different size from other bottle stoppers that all seem to use the same madrel? Not sure if anyone can answer that for me or not, but in the past, when I've bought bottle stopper kits from AS or just about other company, I've had one bottle stopper mandrel I use- but this thread makes me wonder if these will take a different mandrel? If anyone can answer that, I'd sure aprpeciate it!

 

[massmans]

I think if your other mandrel is for a 3/8x16 thread it should be fine. The main difference will be the top diameter of the metal stopper. If your existing mandrel doesn't have the integrated tap, I think that alone is worth the cost.

Hi Angela,
I have the AS stopper mandrel and it's threaded the same as the Ruth Niles stoppers. However the base of the of the Ruth Niles stopper is about a 1/8" larger in diameter than the small stopper bushing sold by AS. That actually works fine for me because I use bushings as a rough guide anyway. I could easily turn my own bushing if needed.

I have a couple Ruth Niles stoppers if you want to check them out for yourself. Just let me know.

Stephen,
Just wanting clarification. Are we to send you the extra $1.00 at this point?

Thanks,
Dave

 

[massmans]

Nope, please wait until I order from Ruth and get final numbers. From there I will enter it into my spreadsheet and see if I am short. I may not need any extra

thanks for checking

Put me down for 10 stoppers and one mandrel. Since it's kind of crunch time I probably won't have a chance to check out Dave's so I'll just go ahead and get some. But I think the mandrel would be a good thing for me to have- since the sizes are different, I kind of need mandrels to guide me. Just let me know how to go about paying you and I'll get that done today.
