They're actually very common in the states now - GMA3 fuses (5x20mm) are the
most commonly used in NEW equipment. (Even the small portion still
manufactured in the US)

5 amp, 5x20mm - MGA. Not too common in the States, I'm guessing. Most
glass fuses in the U.S. are 1/4" diameter by various lengths and amperages.
I've also decided I need to get some aluminum or CRS to play with. The
mini-lathe not having the torque of some bigger machines reduces 416
stainless rather slowly. It'll do it but it is slow - especially making a
6.5??? taper with the compound slide. But where else can you have that kind
of fun on a Friday night (and on the wife's birthday, no less)? 8-)

Hi Pete, Frank,
Not sure what fuses you guys have but my Sieg machine has what I
regard as a fairly standard 20x5mm type. Are Sieg fitting multiple
fuse styles or are 20M5 just more unusual in your area? Here
(Australia) they've largly displaced the old 3AG clunkers.
