Oh geez it looks awful with all that plastic on it.

Good luck with it.

I picked up this little drill bit off of E-Bay.

Got me a HF toolbox to hold my gears, chucks, wrenches and whatever for my HF 8x12 lathe. Got me some 14 gauge sheet metal from my local sheet metal shop and riveted it to the top for a working surface. HF didn't have any sheet metal of this gauge and dimension.

Scored a 12-14" Starrett 123 Vernier Caliper off the auction site today. Looks to be in great great shape. No batteries needed.

I have two of those boxes. One for the lathe and one for the mill. Both filled with needed tools.

Those are great boxes Chip.
I have 3 of them and they are really good heavy duty boxes for $99.
I filled all 3 of them.
I ended up getting one of these from Home Depot for $598. It is heavy and has 6 heavy duty locking casters and holds everything that was in the other 3, so far.

That Husky seems like a great deal for the money. Does it have roller bearing drawer slides? If you bought that in the Snapoff brand it would be ten times that amount. Never could see spending that kind of money for something that uncomplicated. Cheers, Mike

Yesterday: Hager tool cutter dimond grinder and 6" belt sander, there both going to be projects

Was thinking it would sharpen end mills , guess it's for lathe tools
Gona try to find a manual for it. Haven't found a mod # yet.

Motor and coolent tank / pump



I'm guessing the right grinding wheel is gone,
no disk on sander that's ok , gona have to make a tool rest for it tho, and change motor pulley to speed it up some
