That was only a fraction of what I got today. My Dodge 1500 PU bed was full, plus the back seat.
Got over a dozen brand new reamers, new index boxes of Number, letter and fractional drills.
I spent around $300 but if I had to buy all of it from store it would be well over $1000.
He had a South Bend heavy 10 that went for $450. Atlas floor Drill press for $70. It was all very tight and no backlash.

Got some more pics of other stuff I've found after sorting thru all of the boxes I had in the basement. Still have to go thru about 6 more out in the garage. also picked up a 12" squirrel cage fan and 2 motors with adjustable pulleys on them. I'll use one to power the fan for in the garage.

Some carbide tooling. The 4 on left still have wax on them.



Never heard of this name but they are solidly made.


a couple of 2MT drills



Taps, dies and a key cutter.



If anyone knows what these are and what they are for let me know. They were still in tubes, but no label.


Height gauges, Ridgid 1/2" drill chuck.



Some Aluminium.


A nice little vise.
