What Did You Buy Today?

Alloy , I have the Fanuc programming books at home but I'm away until next Wed .

Thanks again. Until I get the books I'll plod along like I am. Enjoy your time away. No hurry.

I'm learning the hard way how bad a typinst I am And a O is not a zero and the control tells me that, a lot.

Sucks the O and zero are so close on my keyboard.

typinst

LOL . Watch the G0s . Not fun trueing up the turret . Start the profile code outside the profile with a X0 , then a Z0 and you'll be safe !

Are you programming on a PC and then uploading or doing it at the COntrol Panel?
If you're doing it on the PC you could load the code in a good text editor and search on 'O's ...
It can 'spell' check a g0 versus a go so to speak.
I like this one whenever I've coded anything:

Downloads | Notepad++

notepad-plus-plus.org

Highly customizable to suit the task at hand.
It can even be color coded to show an 'O' from a '0'.

Yes just using a standard version of notepad. Or an old version of mastercam. It has a numbering feature. I find the line numbers very helpful at this point.

I downloaded the notepad ++ Haven't figured it out yet. Searching for O's would be helpful.

But I'm getting it. I've done all the easy stuff I have to do, now comes the 7 and 9 start thread on a speedometer gear. I need to make a threading gauge for it also. I've ground some cemented carbide tools up for it. Hopefully I can prove the concept up making them with those tools.

After I think I'm going to take a box of inserts to a tool grinding shop and have some double ended inserts ground up to match the profile of the thread on the gears. it's a 36 deg included angle.

If this doesn't get me beat up after school - nothing will.
Picts of all the lots I scored and the two I missed out on.

Spoiler: Pictures of the Lot(s) --- CLICK Here...

This was a 'Junque' lot.... Items on the floor NOT included . . . Gave the tables away.

But this was, a Kennedy 5 drawer (...not the stuff on top) (it was added after the catalog was posted) :


Aloris CXA. (4) std. holders plus a generic parting tool holder and two BXAs, one an Aloris '#8' with extra bits.
This pict is what was posted in the catalog.

This is what was in the Lot:



Misc Lot. -- (3) Albrechts, and a Jacobs 18N, two shell mills for the BP and a bunch of inserts.


This lot was a surprise. I was wanting the 2" travel Starrett on the right, I busted mine up years ago.
Then there is a large dial Federal .0001 bore gage, plus the Ames .0001 in the box and the 'others'.
And then there's the odd black rod that I didn't pay any attention to. Turns out it's a drawbar, which just happens to fit my BP.
I've actually been needing to get one, and that alone paid for the lot.


Yet more parallels... (time to unload some.)
The gage blocks in the wooden holder are really cool.
They are stamped 'LITEDIE' and they are fractional. Only (3) pcs missing.
.......

THE Machinist's Chest Lot.


Yuasa indexer. I was after the Sine plate underneath. Haven't even examined this lot yet.


Brown & Sharpe #255 Mag Block.


Mitutoyo 'Hole' Square Gage Block set. Missing the small blocks and the 1/2" is not OEM.
Didn't realize the difference between a standard type set and a square block set until this week.
Was shocked when I looked up the price of them.


The Johansson.


Pratt & Whitney 'Hole' Square gage block set. Date on the tag is '1958'
Front row is not OEM. Almost complete.


Diamond wheels. Appear to be unused but I haven't examined them closely - yet.


More Diamond wheels - Used, three of them have arbors on them.


A CSE 21.5"(?!) height gage Made in Germany.
Didn't need another but noone else bid on it.


Large Dial 2" travel Federal. .001"


Federal .0001 DTI, missing the crystal.


Box lot of Misc.
There was an old Vantage cig pack in the bottom. Had a bunch of carbide inserts in it that will fit my boring bar.
(3) of the (4) DIs work.
Again, noone else...


And another 'noone' else lot.
TSD Double Angle Collets, they are still coated. Probably going to flip these after looking up the going prices.
And a bunch of HSS bits.


And yet another 'noone' else lot...


This one I wanted. B&S BesTest .0001 DTI


NOS Norton 66261055250 Convolute Wheels


And The End....



Missed out on these.

This Baldor ran smoothly but needed a lot of clean up. Went for over $400


And I couldn't find the stencils or collets for this: Went for over $400 also.


Thanks for looking...
