What Did You Buy Today?

[woodchucker]

Jeff , he has an entire woodshop down the basement along with his machinist/mechanic stuff . It will come home , good yard sale stuff .

So when I die, I'll have the wife and son contact you to dispose of my stuff. And here she was all worried

Nothing too exciting, just a complete apron with a proper half-nut gib and a bearing for the handwheel gear.



Much better than the stock Sieg offering currently fitted to the SC3!
Note the square back gib strip with two screws and washers holding it in place and there is no bearing for the handwheel gear either.

LMS blue?

LMS blue?

No, it is not that blue. Looks closer to Caley blue.

No, it is not that blue.

Little Machine Shop; however, although they use a similar blue for chip tray & backsplash, their apron is light grey:

Certainly an interesting point of which machine it is intended for. Weiss maybe?

I bought a BISON 5" with integral 1 1/2-8tpi plate with 2 piece jaws from ebay. I decided my cushman is not doing the job I need. The jaws are not long enough, and using my 4 jaw to compensate is not always practical on a 3 side or 6 sided piece. I'll have to make some new spiders, or modify what I have.. Looking forward to it.

Some goodies off ebay for the tool grinder, the horzt amd some sweet cincinnati tool clamps.

That clamp in the foreground must have been a criminal in a previous life. It looks like it did some hard time.
