Well I think I had a great day on a online auction nearby. I can’t believe the prices on stuff some opening bid 5bucks, others pennies on the dollar. I only screen shot two but I’ll wait to show when I pick up next week. Here’s a preview40C8A327-7EC0-41A3-B360-1C6EF068FFFC.png66DF241F-A917-4C96-A979-1CACB0B81E3F.png. I couldn’t pass on the universal tool grinder. It has all the accessories for the grinder, manuals,and is still wrapped in that paper new. Can’t wait to get my hands on all the new stuff!!!!
 
A Titan Tool Supply Co. 20x microscope - need to convert it from 110v to 240v use, but looks like the big control box is really only a 12V supply to run a 12V halogen lamp for the light supply.

And what was advertised as a “Bed Level Indicator / Clock Gauge”. Not sure how it is intended to be used but includes Kennedy digital dial indicator with 0.001mm resolution.

Today i visited my local flea market there wasn't too much machinist tools but did managed to buy an old ball pin hummer with a fiberglass handle, also smaller lead filed plastic hummer in decent condition, i also bought this old electrical box it has an emergency shutdown switch and couple of lights, may come in handy in a future project.

This morning i got a call from a friend to join him to visit an old tooling importer, even being little sick i decided to go and see what i could find. At the door i know i've wasted my time, mostly construction tooling and power tools, looked around and only bought this clamp style micrometer, it measured in millimeters too coarse for machining but should be fine for checking brake discs before and after machining, then i found this good quality M12 STD new threading die and the small rusty wrench he had a bigger one also but wanted too much for it, a bit of a waste of time but i never know what i can find.

I went and picked up 5 used dental lights from an online auction today. Three out of the five work, so far. One is missing the voltage transformer, and I just have to wire in the other one to check if it works. I am planning on using them in the shop. One for the lathe, one for the mill, and maybe one for fine desk work.

The one Pelton and Crane light is nearly new. These cost me $50.00 CAD for the lot.

I have thought about those style lights every time I go to the dentist. Nice score.
