Today i had some time to spare so i visited the local tool markets, but being winter and the temperature dropped there wasn't much to find i only bought couple threading taps and dies and couple of carbide inserts.

You'll find it more useful with the dovetail clamp on the end rather than the back. They are nice to work with.

Picked up a cabinet from the scrapyard at work... $10 plus tax...



Its 49" wide and 28" deep.

I had to move my project truck out of the shop so I could get my Toyota in to unload the cabinet.

Bear,

So what's all that white stuff on the ground? I thought you lived in GA, not Michigan?

Yeah.... we had a 'record setting snow' over the weekend- around 12 inches at my house.

Thats more than I remember ever getting at one time.

Well not today but just got part of it cleaned up a bit. Got a Enco RF30 mill, with a 4inch Kurt vice, set of r8 collets, a set of 5c collets, A spin indexer for the 5 c collets, a 6 inch rotary table, bunch of srew jacks, endmils, drill chucks, pretty much everything I need to get going a bit. INcluding a 12x18 x3 surface plate. Oh and also go an old Craftsman 6x48 combo belt grinder. His grandfather passed away and did not know what much of the stuff was so I had to educate him as well. Will be posting another thread on asking what some things would be worth that he still has.
