2017 - The Original "What Did You Buy Today?" Mega Thread

just read the details, not really that hot on ebay either. and just checked one of the items... bleh.

Thanks. Yeah I didn't really "announce" it anywhere, I think I only mentioned it in a post somewhere like once or something.

Yes it's the short one which are meant for headstock/spindle use. I have no use for the standard larger sleeve that they sent me by accident. I have not tried it but I already know it will stick out too far. I'll probably sell it on ebay some day.

Years ago I had a bright idea of just using a MT5 center in my spindle instead of the headstock center adapter. I quickly found out why these headstock adapters exist. The MT5 stuck out way to far to be used with my drive plate & off the shelf dogs.

I can't find the original post but it looks like I did talk about it again here in this very thread. Post #192

good info. your mt5 doesn't appear stick out nearly as far as my mt3 from the plate, unless it's just a scale thing , since that mt5 must be really big.
But yea, that's the info I was looking for. So I should do a sleeve then and use an mt2.
thanks... good info.

Bought a EVOSAW 380 steel cutting chop saw. Good cutting range for the stuff I will do. Also got the aluminum blade.
No fluids to deal with. It came with ear plugs for a good reason!

truck is in Delaware, I'm in NY, bought it based on friend's recommendation and 3 somewhat fuzzy phone pictures. According to reports, body very solid, no rust, needs drivetrain, paint and TLC. Will post pics on arrival.

YUPP I been bad but made a out super good. Few days ago I won a pile of drill chucks , vise handle, morse taper attachments for drills, Italy made Jacob's Albrecht style 3/8" drill , 11N super all need parts but fixable. But the best a 5C nose piece for the head stock of my logan , needs a little polishing is all. It was upside down in the picture but I took a chance for $20.00 total with the shipping. I've been trying to find and buy one for years most run up to a hundred to buy used . Happy CRIPPLE today . But mom will fix that when the bill comes.
My visiting Dr came today , I'm staying healthy , she wants sleep study even tho I use oxygen at night , my levels of oxygen at night go down , sleep apnea she thinks. I always new how to slow down my heart rate , use to mess with drs when they listened.
