What Did You Buy Today?

It was a freebie...


I mentioned to my father that I was looking for an arbor press... he said he had one in the barn that I could have if I wanted it. I brought it home this morning. It is an Enco No. 3... it needs a lot of cleaning, derusting, and oiling, but seems to be in good condition otherwise.

I really like that the designer incorporated a slot to facilitate lift/carry. I'd not noticed that feature on other arbor presses. The ones I have (Dake & Greenerd) could really use such a feature.

I see now that some Grainger's Dayton arbor presses have the slot also.

I learned something today. I'm exhausted. LOL

I thought that was a pretty neat feature...

Bought me a new "welding clamp" yesterday at a garage sale.

Well that;s what he said it was. Told me it holds parts so you can weld them.

Also bought the second thingamajig. He didn't know what it was.

I did.

Sitting inside my parts washer now.


Dropped $25 bones on these

Is that a gripper for pulling stock on your new (to you) lathe?
Coolant powered or ???

Picked up a pallet of tools from the shipper today.



My 1st Kurt! Very happy with the height gauge, couple of larger angle plates, Van Norman no2 collet holder & the Harig Air-Flo Sharpener seen here.

A few items were also delivered in the sharpener box.



A 12" Fowler level, small vise & a compliment of transfer screws!



The Harig will be a future restoration project. Just going to put it away for now as is with a thorough WD40 soaking.

Yes it is a bar puller. Spring loaded. Royal brand.


But I may not be able to use it. Im not sure it it will clear when the turret rotates. Ill check that when its all back together and the turret fixed.


My ball screw will be back today and I have a repair guy coming on Thursday to try and fix the turret problem. When you command it to change tools it starts spinning and doesn't stop until it errors out. And I want him do disconnect the bar feeder. I will never use it, and don't really have the room for it.

For a control project we stumbled on these inductive ammeters.

21 bucks for 3, wanted 3 of same color so ordered 2 more sets.

Great for balancing 3 phase systems as you can see actual amps per leg.

They have same device that also goes volts.

Amazon has a lot of fun stuff...

Received a bunch of little red boxes to organize my tool bench. Maybe this will calm some of the chaos! Here are some of them.

Schaller Corporation. They are on eBay, or you can buy direct from them. I measured a lot of stuff, made a list, and figured out what boxes would fit. Took a lot longer to make the master list than I expected! Being close by, I received them in 1 day via UPS!

I broke down and bought a Miller Coolmate 3.5 tig cooler, to go with the Dynasty 350, I own. The 3 gallons of anti-freeze coolant, was close tot $100. Damn this is getting expensive.
