Took a half day off work today cause were a bit slow and needed my scrapyard fix, nothing to be found that I couldn't live without. I was on my way out when Phil (Philco on the forum) came strolling in,Hadn't seen him in a while and we were catching up a bit when we were interupted by an elderly gentleman. He said he still had some machinist tools for sale and Phil graciously let me go with him on the hunt I told him he could have first dibbs since it was his guy. Phil picked out a few goodies and I bought the rest. $180 was a bit more than I'm accustomed to paying for small lots like this but there were some real goodies & after an individual item count it averaged $2.00 per item :winner:me & Phil.
Probably the best score was the indexible carbide insert face mill with a R8 shank, I was gonna order a set of fly cutters from Enco tonight so I don't need to do that as there was a set in the deal. I got a cheap dial indicator that was sticking badly, after looking closer at it it had been hit hard with something as the back was caved in some and bad cracking in the case but I got it working smoothly just the face dial wont turn. Overall a pretty good score
