What Did You Buy Today?

I also scored this before it went in the dumpster at the shop . If came off a big air handler at a hospital that we are replacing .
7-1/2 HP. Baldor motor 3-phase

Got a few things I've bought recently:

A 100 mm K-Met square. I already have a 50 mm square from these guys and was impressed with it for the price. Still want a Mitutoyo 300 mm square for a reference square though:


It arrived a week or so ago. It's for my Warco Minor. Have to machine some brackets for the four Ditron scales first yet.


Got sick of the cheap circlip pliers I have so bought some quality:


Didn't have a shell mill so I got this. The Arbor I have isn't compatible so I'll need to get one.


Finally I thought I'd give one of these cheap rechargeable air dusters a go, to see if it's any better than my squeezy air duster for blowing chips. It is, especially when the chips are reasonably dry, if they're soaked in cutting oil it's okay but could be better.

My wife recently gave me a set of two of these LED head lamps. They actually work nicely and are comfortable. Much better than the little ones you can get at HF. You can even turn them on and off by waving your hand near by them! I normally view things like this as junk, but these were very handy today! The string of LEDs are very bright and the flashlight works to localize and intensify.

Just saw a video where people are putting these on the outside of welding helmets and loving it.

Probably paid too much but it seems like I'm going to keep the little Hardinge BB4 so this is the missing piece to set it up for cutting gears.

Sometimes I can't help myself. Set of six squares. Home made by some machinist. These are the things I really like to snag. Someone put a lot of time into these. They're a nice set of tools, and I'll touch them up, and square them if needed.




I shouldn't be fighting to fine the right size square anymore!
