What Did You Buy Today?

I bought this last week, and it arrived today. Overall not bad, just like the Chinese you need to fettle it. I cleaned it, hit some areas with a file, overall not bad. I had to stick the plunger in the lathe and sand and polish it. I may blue it by heating and dipping in old motor oil since I took any protective finish off.

I am missing the Sector hold down clips. I let the seller know, hopefully they can send them. If not I'll have to make them. And the plate with the most holes I can't read the numbers, as there is not a lot of room.

I thought before the tariffs hit, I should order it.. I do have a minor need, I was planing on making a spline for a repair coming up.

I also offered less than asking, and they came back with a counteroffer which I accepted.

edit: the seller will be sending the sector clips. Very good and fast response. +1

The tool could be copied... There are some super smart design features built in, so take note if you happen to give a Holdridge a close look. The pintle pivots and setup gauges are pretty slick.
