What Did You Buy Today?

Lassy Rapid-LOX vise

That was a very nice vice. Maybe it can be brought back? Braze & file?
Tenth plug gage?? How is that used?

...

Not sure it really needs to be repaired where prior idiots have drilled into the base. The casting is solid there and I don't think it will be too weak for what I intend, and there's enough of the vise bottom to support a parallel (which is something the imports don't do--they have a trough right under the fixed jaw for some stupid reason). Most of what I liked was the stepped jaw.

I paid a LOT less than "very nice vise" price, so a little damage is expected. If stuff can be held securely with the cam-lock lever, I'll be happy with it.

Didn't buy it, but I did get my deposit in...my wife is going to wonder where I wandered off to in May.

Tenth plug gage. One middle is .500. Others go from plus 001 to plus 012 then other side minus same. Have sets from1/8 in. To 1/2in. For checking size of machined holes or bores. Second picture is for measuring bigger holes or bores.

You mean +/- 0.0001, right? The gauge pins are the nominal size, plus pins 0.0001 to 0.0012 in tenths on either side of it?

If it was 0.001, any regular gauge pin set would work.

Those three-point bore gauges are the best but golly are they expensive. I looked into them for measuring a specific bearing journal bore on the GMC Motorhome front suspension, but they were just too pricey.

I know, right!? They are cool as heck... until you look up the price for a set of those... yikes!

Yes sir. Tenths. I don’t have the skill set or patience for tenths. Doing good at a .001. I need to upgrade my membership so I can sell some of this. Not doing any good stuck a few more years in a toolbox.

Looked it up. Watched the video. Looks good as long as the computer keeps working. The guy in the video needs some instruction on manufacturing. Walking back & forth!

Are you thinking about selling the Intrimiks?
