…….you go to purchase a simple cutting tool and come home with a bunch of tooling for a machine you no longer have.
I did some trading a couple of weeks ago with forum member Charley Davidson and I ended up with a different knurlling tool holder that was missing some of the knurl wheels. I went to a tool guy while on a trip to Texas and got the knurls I needed (wanted). I always look around when there because he does a lot of auction buying and gets a lot of things he does not normally deal in. I noticed that he had several NMTB #40 tool holders. I asked what his plans were for them and he made me an offer I could not refuse (I am very weak). I had absolutely no need for them since I no longer have a machine that they will fit but I adopted them any way.
A call to the new home of the mill I once owned that they would fit (Charley again) and they will be adopted forward. Too bad I cannot run into bunch of B&S #10 holders to fit the mill I have left.
