What Did You Buy Today?

So, since around 5:30 I've been lucky enough to putz around in the shop going through the drawers and a couple of the MISC lots.
I got 'stoopid' lucky with this auction. This is akin to an adult Christmas morning...
From the bottom up... (I had some problems with keeping the 'smart' phone oriented...

That's an Albrecht in the front, an Enco in the rear...
Drill Indexes are in very good shape. One is a Hout Metric complete and not chowdered.

Just what I need, some more parallels... :grin:
(4) nice mill clamps and then a bunch of dies. And some end mills.

More dies, miscellany, and a SG dressing jig.

More miscellany, and some gems.

A bunch of decent cutting tools. Some of the end mills are chowdered, but most are unused.
(2) high rake insert holders with a lifetime supply of inserts.

AN oddball drawer. Note the *empty* Mitu DTI container.
A 3-4" Old time Starrett Mic., a set of diamond files and a cool jack.
A decent indicator holder for the BP mill.

More miscellany.
The yellow container in the center paid for this lot. It's a Kennametal 3/4" end mill with plenty of inserts.
My jaw dropped when I opened it.

Neat ratching tap handle. a 25/64" 5c collet (?!!), a broken pair of cheesy pliers (?).
Bunch of drills (obviously)

Onto the Machinist's Chest
It's grown on me the last day, despite being so rusty on the exterior. The felt in the drawers is still good so I'm thinking of knocking the rust off and applying some clear coating on it and keeping it.
No particular order this time...

Top of the chest, a bunch of nice goodies. Items that will be going into my inventory.
Found a 18" Starrett scale tucked in the back that is going to need some TLC.
0915201944c__R.jpg

Top two drawers, cool bits in the red boxes.
0915201948__R.jpg

A 'Ford' C.E. Johanasson gage block, nice tap handle. A B&S square that also needs some TLC.
0915201948a__R.jpg

I've been wanting some HSS toolbits... :grin:
0915201948b__R.jpg

The 'Gem' drawer. A bunch of DTIs. One Interrapid .0005 and a Federal .0001, + the others.
0915201948c__R.jpg

I won't be needing any center drills for this lifetime. There's a bunch of extra long ones in the lots.
0915201948d__R.jpg
More nice cutting stuff...
0915201949__R.jpg
and yet more....
0915201949a__R.jpg
and some more....

Another Jack, some unused end mills.
0915201953__R.jpg...0915201953a__R.jpg

Some of the items out of the top.
0915201946__R.jpg...0915201947__R.jpg...0915201946a__R.jpg

And amongst all that I pulled out (4) carbide shank boring bars that were buried.
(have to start another post for that, I've exceeded the allowed max of (30) picts. :rolleyes:)

Dan -

That's a real big YEEEEEE-HAAAAA! You've definitely achieved suckage!!!!
 
A month after I bought my 'first' set, Keith Rucker posted this on youtube... :grin:
Then I had some idea of how it was used...

Thanks very much. Will have to keep my eyes peeled for one of these. Would be a real nice accessory for my gauge blocks.
 
Looks like some real work going on there for sure.

Thanks.

I'm making parts for my transmission conversions. I'm finding the lathe runs the parts so much faster than the mill does when I have a operation that can be transferred to the lathe. One op went from 12:20 minutes on the mill to 2:55 on the lathe. The finish is wonderful compared to profiling with and end mill.

So far I'm programming the lathe by hand. Making a few mistakes, but so far nothing major. I've given up on figuring out the Fanuc roughing commands for now and doing it line by line. But it works :grin:
 
Alloy , I have the Fanuc programming books at home but I'm away until next Wed .
 
You had the g71 program on the the other thread correct . After your P, Q U W F line , just program the final dimensions of the part . I always started .100 off the Z and .050 above the X diameter . You need to start outside your final profile in the canned cycle or when it's complete , you'll rapid thru your part ! :grin:
