The iCarbide stuff is pretty nice. I recommend.

Come-on now..... That organiser is a space-waster given you don't have a lift-out that could carry a second tool.

Joking aside, nice looking kit!

I stole the organizer from my wife...

Thursday I bought an Enco 93600 mid sized mill, early 80s model, 13 hours round trip. Can fine very little on this on the webs.

Update, there is a model LW-V0-A2 that looks like mine, dated late 70s. Made by LiangWai, Taiwan for Enco.

I stole the organizer from my wife...

I learned in the late 60’s (1960’s, that is: not 5 years ago ) that prices of many items depended upon what they were called: Library Cart $200, Food Service Cart $250, Shop Cart $100, all with the same materials, specifications and catalog photo.

And it can only be purchased from one specific supplier!

I bought a couple of tool boxes this week...

The first one was a Craftsman...



It's old, (1958-59), but is in very good mechanical condition. This box is HEAVY! There are a few tools in it... nothing worth mentioning.

The second box is an older Husky 11 drawer roller with ball bearing slides...



Again, it's ugly, but in good mechanical condition and seems to be a well built box. It has been painted with a pink-ish primer, so a fresh coat of paint is in it's future. This box weighs almost as much as the Craftsman...

I also found a Craftsman doweling jig...



And a Dremel sander...





I haven't tested it yet... the tag on it claims that it 'works'...

Picked up a Saylor Beal 705 Air Compressor that i picked up at an estate sale. It's a beast, way larger than what i actually need but i gave way less than the ones offered in the stores now. It puts out 11 CFM @ 175 PSI! It also has a 1725 RPM motor so it chugs along instead of the high rev'ing oil less units that make a ton of noise.




Also picked up a Baumalight walk behind stump grinder:




Auction find that i bought right. I have some friends and neighbors that need some stumps ground so I'll fix it up, do some work with it and probably send it down the road. The story was is that it was a rental unit and it has some signs of deferred maintenance that i've mostly repaired. I did add a hitch to the side of it for a kickstand and a tow hitch as it's not fun to push for a long distance - it weighs over 350 lbs.

Purchased both male and female form cutters for picatinny rail. Considerably beefier than I thought, these cutters have 5/8" shanks which was a pleasant surprise.
First project will be a windage and elevation adjustable long range laser mount. Not your fathers laser, this one is a long range white laser. I have made a few accessories for the MLok design and believe these AlTin clad cutters might offer even more options.

I read that Enco is very helpful. Might be worth a call.
