What Did You Buy Today?

[mattthemuppet2]

bought about a 100 AXA tool holders in waiting (large 1 1/2" thick block of steel in the center of the pic). Also got a nice big sheet of alu for making a backsplash for my South Bend (on left, against the wall). I wondered why I was having trouble lifting that block into and out of the car until I saw the scrap yard receipt - that block and the 2 pieces of steel in the pic below weighed 118lb!!


some more scrap (3/8" and 1" stainless, 1 1/8 and 2 1/4" steel and alu angle) for I don't know what


a collection of lathe dogs, one of which is larger than my head


12 28" ball bearing drawer slides

And a nice 1/2hp 3ph motor and fan that I swapped with the previous owner of my lathe for the rest of the bits (main castings) of the steady rest that I didn't have


cost? 145lb of scrap and $46 I had a really good day yesterday

Few recent Ebay pick ups. First was a 110V sheet metal shear. I have a same-style Harbor Freight pneumatic shear, a 110V Beverly style shear, and an air nibbler, wanted the 110V of this style as it's easier for me to run an extension cord than an air hose. This style shear is great for long, straight cuts. The cutter is below the surface, two fixed shear blades above. The kerf is a curly-Q pressed up at the center. It can make a turn, but it's much better at straight only. Paid $40 including shipping.






I bought a set of 3 Huot drill indexes to replace some plastic tray organizers for my A-Z, 1-60, and 1/16" - 1/2" drill bits. Yes, I have a case of OCD and realized I only had 2-4 of a number (sic) of the numbered drill bit sizes. Shopped at eBay seller "ztsupply" for what I needed. You never know if you'll need 10 #53 drill bits. . .

Thanks for looking, Bruce


Really like these Huot drill bit organizers. I have at least 8 of every size except for a number of 1-60 drill bits. Ebay seller ztsupply to the rescue!

Snagged a nice set of new Starrett pin punches sans pouch for my sons Christmas present.
My wife can stitch up a nice pouch for them.
Also new, a 154a and a 154b split parallel that will live in my tool box.

Last week I picked up an old Cincinnati #2ML universal horizontal mill off of Craigslist. Other than being pretty nasty, it seems to be in decent condition...





It came with one arbor, the arbor support, an original service and parts manual, and the wiring diagram blueprint.

Yes, I do have all the handles... I had to remove them in order to squeeze it into my basement.

It is currently wired for 440v... I have a thread started in the electrical section about converting it to 220v if anyone wants to read it and offer advice.

I purchased an Optical Center Punch off Amazon this weekend. Also I purchased a bunch of Morse Taper drill bits from one of our members here. Sorry didn't take a picture of the drill which number 22 from 1/2" to 1-1/4". I haven't received the center punch yet, but here is a stock image of it.

Very nice!
Any idea the year of the machine?
What's the spindle taper?

I uploaded some manuals here:

I don't really know what year it was made.... I'm guessing early to mid 1950's, but that is just a guess. I do know that it was purchased new by the company that I bought it from.

It has an NMTB50 spindle... I already had a couple of NMTB40 arbors, so I'm going to be looking for a NMTB50 to NMTB40 adapter... from what I'm seeing, they are hard to find.
