Is schedule 40 (or 80) extruded? I don't think most of what I've used is. While the outside is smooth the inner surface is usually a little wavy and irregular, like it may have been spun in a mold??? - Original Message - From: "Dave Cole" To: "Enhanced

I had considered using one for a springboard for a haas/pro gui, but not sure what I'll do at this point. If any of you have ever used a haas control, I think you won't be completely happy with most of the gui's available, although gmoccapy is alright. On Wed, Oct 19, 2016 at 6:36 PM, Sebastian
