Went to a swap meet today and found some deals.
Kurt D675 vise from Lost Creek Machine. Matt is there every year and I always find something I must have. He threw in a hat with the vise.

Starrett 0-6” blade depth mics, a few 5C collets, No3 Jacobs 17/32” chuck with a damaged M2 arbor, and a $5 tool box full of tools.

The nice set of old Craftsman small hole gages that were in the box made it well worth the $5 I paid. There’s also a bunch of old open end wrenches, one of which is an old International Harvester, a pin vise with drills and a bunch of sockets.

Anyone ever heard of a galvanometer and know where it would be used? It was in the box too.

you'd think the chinese could at least install the switch and decals that are the visual focal point of the machine straight (plumb).

a galvanometer is basically an ammeter.

Working on a big project. Spent a bunch of money with Bolt Depot. All 3/4" grade 8 stuff.

My best guess is somewhere between 17 and 18 lbs take off weight.

With a fast jet I usually do 5 - 6 minutes so have a lot of reserve.

With 30 lbs of thrust……..

Complete lack of care about quality baffles me at times.

It's actually an ergonomic feature, not a mistake.

Most people are right-handed, and the slant to the left makes using the switch less tiring on the wrist...
