What Did You Buy Today?

I recently bought several items at auction, including a Dorian size DA* QCTP w/ 6 holders.

I was planning on selling off the Dorian set, but it's a perfect fit on my 10" Montgomery Wards lathe, don't you think?? :p:p

Years back, I bought a tool holder, not knowing enough, When I received it, it was giant. either a D, or E, I have it around here somewhere. Here is the dovetail cutter I bought about the same time. That is a larger then normal coffee cup. IIRC, it is a 2" dia shaft. Now that I have a mill that can handle it, I cannot find where it got packed away between the last two moves we made.

New projects... it never ends, does it?

I went today and hauled a bunch of junk home.

A Makita pedestal grinder on a sturdy pedestal...

A Rouselle 10 ton stamping press with some sort of automated control...

Why would someone put an automated control on a stamping press?

And a K&T Milwaukee model H horizontal mill...

The grinder is the only one of the three that could be tested under power, but I bought all three for about scrap price, so if they aren't usable, I won't be out anything but time and a few gallons of gas.

The same guy had a Sidney lathe... about a 14 inch conehead wigh a long bed... about 92 inches from the chuck face to the end of the ways. I thought about it, but I'm running out of space!

That's some tonnage :encourage:
 
the bill finally hit, the Miller anti-freeze was $26 plus tax a gallon.

That's not bad, my Miller Radiator-1 takes 3 gallons. The propylene glycol recipe for 3 gallons would cost about $25 through Amazon, plus distilled water. That's as simple as coolant can be, just the glycol (surfactant/antifreeze), the biocide, and water. It's non-conductive, not that it matters in a tig torch. No other additives, preservatives, corrosion inhibitors, mosquito spit, or unicorn tears to throw the chemistry outta whack. Good for any cooling loop.

I fear for the chuck in the event of a negative toolpost and chuck interaction!

Dang, that certainly is a lot of tonnage!



Careful with that thing..... machine like that’ll eat two fingers for dinner and come begging for seconds.

Yes... I spent many hours running big stamping presses (25 ton to 150 ton) when I was a teenager... I've seen a few fingers and hands get stamped.

I've still got all my fingers... and plan to keep them.

Congrats on the finds.
Like the K&T units. I would like to find an affordable 12" x 56" Table Kearney Trecker Horizontal Vertical Metal Milling Machine. The ability to switch from horizontal to vertical is an awesome feature.
