That's one heck of a find BF Hammer.
The best part of buying old tools like that is the drive home.:).
 
Today I bought an Aloris AXA tool post set - with two tool holders for my SB 9C. I am hoping they are as good as I have heard (from just about everyone). I'm sure it will be an upgrade from my lantern style tool post.

Old tools are great. Nice find. I for sure love the drive home after the great buy happens.

I understand. I was so excited when i got home - my wife just didn't get it. The best she could say was "I guess it's ok - it just looks old and dirty". "And how many of these things do you have now....." :busted:

Yeah, you pretty much suck! ;)

Nice score!
 
Now you have something to use in conjunction with that BFH. Cheers, Mike
 
Missed it by that much, a Craigs list ad for a 12.5 hp balanced phase converter set up for a cnc mill, for $500. Cheers, Mike

20 hp 3-phase motor for the RPC.....
 
Great tools. My pet peeve is marked tools. Why do people mark their tools? Putting big ugly gouges instead of a discreet small name or number.
I own a few that I bought used from Ebay, not so bad. Please guys, don't deface your tools. There are better ways to "mark" your tools as yours. :)

Emilio , guys mark their tools when they work in shops with lots of people. They are not concerned about the next owner, only that they can say that's my tool.
