Tooling Hunting Score

[uncle harry]

Hi folks,

I went looking for a # 1 morse taper live center @ a machinery dealer in Milwaukee today. No luck there but found a couple of other bargains. # 1) a # 3 morse taper live center mfg. by Collins Co of Clinton Iowa. $ 20 (it has a grease Zerk @ the back). # 2) a boring bar, Said to be a Dorian, marked NBN-10 with a carbide insert $ 20. and # 3) a Jacobs # 36 chuck with a MT 3 arbor marked 'made in England. $ 50. I think I scored.
