What Did You Buy Today?

According to the article, there is no confirmed connection to the Mossberg of firearms.

Thanks!

Didn't buy it today , but I just used it . My 1916 planer gauge made by my uncle's father . Worked great in spacing a few rollers on one of our machines .

The "tweaks and enhancement kit", new brass gibs, tapered bearing set, the improved compound base bottom, a 3mt center for the headstock end, 2mt live center for the tailstock, and the 11mm spacer (which has to be cut down when you upgrade the bearings. The 11mm spacer will be the first part worked, before the lathe is tore down and trued.

First, congratulations! That's a nice looking lathe. And kudos to LMS for offering such a nice package of enhancements!

Might need to upgrade the power panel a bit. It may be tight, but I am sure you can make it fit.

No need to get rid of the Unimat, can still use it, just set it down on the carriage.

That would be an interesting photo.

That would be like a small milling attachement.

Model SG - Sanford Surface Grinder. FB Marketplace deal. I've been looking for one of these for years. Cute little machines, but they do what they are expected to do.

Tried it out under power. Nice little unit. I also have the original electromagnetic chuck but it needs some work.

I'll post a thread of the clean up I did today and pics and link back here.

All kidding aside ... I've sometimes wondered what-all is involved in the installation of such a tool. Must take a huge amount of site prep, then maybe several weeks of precision leveling, grouting, etc. Not like simply opening up the crate and washing off the cosmoline!
