  1. remember to turn off the autorouting in mapsource before downloading if you are using one of the etrex's. The maps are larger with that turned on. The etrex's don't support autorouting so it's wasteing MB's. Gig 'em Aggies
  2. The Tungsten Carbide shapes that are my signature item are called inserts. They are used in industrial lathes to turn metal. A client of my company uses them in huge lathes that cut threads in oilfield tubing and drill pipe. They use many different sizes and shapes for different applications. The colors include black, gray, silver, gold, red and blue. The shapes include round, square, triangle, oval, diamond, tri star, trapezoid and some small funky shapes. Tungsten has a density of approx 20g/cm3. Steel is 7g/cm3, Lead is 11g/cm3 and Gold 19g/cm3. They make the shapes using Tungsten Carbide dust powder. Then they use 1000's of psi to shape it in a mold. If you look with a magnifying glass you can see the little beads. It is one of the hardness materials on earth.
