Wonderful Excel Bill of materials file

[lovenyc2600]

I found this wonderful, file that lists the materials you need to order. However I am still hopelessly confused. I am trying to order the material from mc master carr.

For example one part says Cast Iron / 2-3/8" dia / 1/2" length / x8 but at the end of the sheet it says 2 1/2 dia 12" length

If anyone could help me decipher this, I would more than grateful.

The excel file is : 1stclass.mylargescale.com/Slartibartfass/A3_Switcher/Material_Parts_Tools.xls

Thanks,

Nicky

Btw.......I forgot to mention i am in the process of getting materials for the tender wheels

The dimension in the description column of 2-3/8" dia x 1/2" length x8 (PIECES) requires you to purchase a rod of cast iron 2 1/2" diameter x 12" long to cut and machine them all, with enough material left over for cutting and chucking allowances, and possibly a few extra wheels.
