What Did You Buy Today?

I never had the urge to try single insert indexable endmills. Just figured they wouldn't work well with my little mill/drill. I do have a 1" indexable end mill though that uses APKT inserts. Found this set of 3 on Amazon for over 1/2 off, paid $50. They're coolant through so my guess they weren't good sellers & wanted to get rid of it. At that price I decided to give them a shot cause I have the inserts already, same size as my 1". Figured I'd use them for semi-roughing to save life on my regular end mills. 3/8", 1/2", & 5/8", all have 1/2" shanks, the 5/8" uses 2 inserts.

More Knipex pliers, I love Knipex. Small 5" pliers with smooth jaws. Great for working on stuff you don't want to mar. I'm using them for working on electronics. I got the needle nose ones a couple of months ago & just got the duckbill ones.

Picked this up today from a young guy for $125. Was hoping one of the follow rests would fit my Craftsman 12x36 but no luck. One looks shop-made. I don't really need much if this but couldnt best the deal.

I would assume by the proximity of the stash around it, that whatever is attached to the spoker wheel hasn't moved in a bit :)

Aukai, it is a 1927 Model T that is always "this close" to running but just never seems to get the attention.

Ain'T ThaT always The case?

Grandparents had a 2-car shed back behind the house. Dad had a picture from back in the '50s where there were 15 or 20 T's parked around it.
All nice and neat and not a single one in running condition.
Can you imagine "what-if" they hadn't scrap them?
