PaleoRon Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I would have to say that you got a pretty good deal on that set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 That's a great price for a standard sieve series!

Malcolmt Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nice set, good price. I averaged about $25 per sieve plus shipping when I bought mine, so I think you got a fair price. I use mine all the time, couldn't do without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Looks like a great deal to me, I'm just sorry I didn't see them first.

Raistlin Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 What are those used for? You use them to sift your abrasive materials to get them into a more uniform size. RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raistlin Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Not exactly the same stuff but will work for my needs at this time. I picked mine up just a bit cheaper from the same place but I just got this set. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-in-PRO-SIEVE-3-set-53-120-250-Stackable-Mesh-Screen-Harvest-Zooplankton-/160706814503?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256adf6227 http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-in-PRO-SIEVE-3-set-CULTURE-LARVAE-FISH-FRY-rotifer-/150576359967?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230f0cea1f The 250 I doubt I will use but the 53 and 120 work great. I think I got my set for about $54 You can get them in 4" or 6" I picked up the 6". RobertSoutheast, MO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The set that Doc bought is a standard ASTM certified soil gradation set, solid brass frames and brass mesh, a very good deal.
