Auction scores

[Wdnich]

I decided to hit auction in Memphis last week. Ended up with a few things. I have been trying to upgrade and improve things in shop. Just a few things I ended up with. I bought a roll around shop cabinet, and it was loaded down with hardinge collets, and other things.



A drawer full of reamers.







All of this is on top of the storage cabinet.







Ended up with a few original Bridgeport items for my mill

Ended up with another Lista Workbench and indicator lot.









Also ended up with 3 shim material packs. in with this lot.

The biggest score was an excello carbide grinder.

This thing is a monster. I was a little worried once I picked it up the wiring diagram they gave me with it had 440. I figured welp another tool I will end up selling . When I got home, and unloaded, I decided to tear into it and see if there was something I could do. Well after pulling top casing off I could not access the motor. I figured I am hosed,Then I notice the back panel on the base and pull it off. It is belt driven so I figure I will change the motor out. I cleaned the tags off and stuck camera up in base and started snapping pics, it is a dual voltage, can be wired 220 or 440. Solved that problem it will get a thorough refurbish and cleaning and become a permanent member in my shop.









Equipping the shop has become a serious obsession.

I have other stuff from a Florida trip I need to share. Ended up with some nice books, a Gherstner toolbox, and the Excursion loaded down for the trip back. I need to get better pics.

Looks like you did really well. I must be going to the wrong auctions. I never seem to find that much good stuff in one place.

Most I have lucked up on. And it takes a constant watch. I am slowly building up a constant auction loop I check daily. And that is a daily thing. I have missed a few here and there that were posted fast ad closed or ended in a few days. Plus I watch craigslist heavily withing 400 miles of me.

Great score!!!! How much did you end up walking out for. The carbide grinder is also the cats meow because of it's broad capability range. Wish we had auctions like that down here in Fla.

After buyers premium I spent 506 total. I bought the grinder for 126 bid. I have bid in several auction for a carbide grinder and they always slip away for a bit over my final stop bid. This one went way below what I was willing to go too. I wanted the roll cabinet for use with thee Bridgeport, and the Lista workbench was a bonus with all the dial indicators. I felt really saitisfied with this auction, not like usual when ya get done second guessing if ya made the right bids or spent too much.
