Just made my best score in years. Went to a random sale. The guy was a Mold Maker picked up these items for $140. I scoured for the wrenches and colors to no avail. Super stoked. Bit rusty but moves very smoothly on itself.

Cutting oil is my blood.

Just got back from there again. Had to do some digging. Scored these $80. The tool post grinder is a bit big for my lathes. Runs nice and smooth. But for the price had to take it. Nice little press and angle plate to boot.

Great snag. the Deckle is so much fun to use. I make engraving bits from my broken 1/4” end mills.

I used one for 20 years making special cutters when I was making plastic injection molds. I will go back tomorrow and see if I can find the collets and wrenches. I hold little hope as the place was a total disaster. It was sitting way up on a shelf by itself.

Fortunately I can get a set of imports for $200. It will be a good clean up project for sure.

Tom, great find. I didn't know Deckel even made tools like that. I just think of their mills.
Have fun with it. Being a Deckel I would imagine that that machine is capable of holding tight tolerances.

Tom, did you return to the Crime scene and find the collets? I hope you got lucky
