What Did You Buy Today?

Got an Acme thread gauge to grind a 5 TPI thread. I'll have to figure out my ELS code again, hadn't programmed 5 TPI yet. So I will need to dust off some formulas again. What uses 5 TPI? A push broom!

Why didn't you ask first ? JK , I have those gages down stairs .
Sometime, maybe even within the month, I'll be back in your area again. You'll need to load me up with lots of stuff. I'm sure you have things that I didn't even know I needed. :grin: Files, height gauges, gauges, HSS, etc..

It's been awhile since I've done much machining - dealing with my mom's estate has eaten up most of my time. The main time crunch should be over soon when I sell her home.

Figured I could knock out this tool bit and do something totally different tomorrow - like making threads on a broom stick.

You're always welcome here as usual . Are you moving your shop down this way when you come ? You know where I'm at , moving 3 places at once . Trying to scale down the fort . Not an easy task to try to do 10 things at the same time . 48 years of junk adds up coming from 3 generations of machinists .
 
How many Starrett versions of these did I offload at Cabin Fever last year Dave?
I was watching my stuff , not yours Charlie . :grin: I think I did around $900 last year though . I'll be up for 4 days again this year but right now , the e Pay sales are doing GREAT !

Wait, if you weren’t watching my stuff while I was off buying more stuff, who was watching my stuff??

Wish I wasn’t messed up: I’ve actually decided to part with some stuff (“junk” according to SO, but she does occasionally admit that it’s useful), but I guess I’ll have to wait until next year (not worth the hassle of shipping).
