What Did You Buy Today?

Just watched that vid. The guy gets an almost grinded like finish on that bearing! Pretty cool stuff. Everyone should have one of these in our tool chests, just in case!

Whoa! They're like diamond or something I guess?

Look up PCD inserts (polycrystalline diamond). They're available in common insert shapes. Also look up CBN (cubic boron nitride) inserts if you have a need to machine really hard materials. IIRC CBN can machine even carbide.

I bought a tiny lathe....

Good score! You will need carbide tooling to make anything out of that wrist pin.

And a six jaw chuck , not really but, you know, while your at it!

Decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my tig machine. Bought another Everlast. They had the 250EX 150 bucks off. Also ordered a watercooler and a CK torch from HTP.

I’ll be interested in your impressions of the 250. There’s a TIG in my future.

Just my opinion, but I have had good luck limiting myself to Miller machines and 220V.

Today I bought fillet gauges and a Starrett protractor.

In the photo, the back side is for concave fillets.

Picked up a Criterion 1/2” boring head.
Thanks for the lead @mikey and @mmcmdl !

You all are bad influences talking about your deals on ebay. I started looking and came across a Fowler 0-6" depth mic for $25 and no bids. I should have it Thursday unless the world ends.
