What Did You Buy Today?

[Janderso]

I've been contemplating a 12" brake or 3 in1 machine for some time. Would love something bigger, but space is the issue. Quality of the small ones is also a concern. The 24 and 36" can generally handle thicker material as well as the obvious greater length which then leads me to wonder where I might find an extra couple of feet of room...

I'll be looking for your opinion of the 24" might help me make a leap or not.

Aaron,
I'll be using this right away, I'll give you the reader's digest version review once I'm up and running.
I haven't decided if I'll mount it on the bench or lift it off the shelf when needed.
I will use it more if it's mounted and ready to go.

I just purchased this Dynapath bed mill. I am not familiar with Dynapath, but just from the few things I have read, it sounds like it's a straightforward control to use.

Oh sure. Here we are happy to have digital calipers and such and you show up with a CNC mill. Showoff... LOL. Just kidding.

Ya know, the same business I just bought that thing from has one more that is similar and it's going for $4900 OBO. The new owner of the shop is installing DMG's and he wants his shop space. Yesterday he had it up for $6900 OBO.

Funny you mention that because after you posted about your mill purchase I did a google search and that one showed up. It looks well used but he describes it as having hardly used it.

The new owner of the shop hardly used it, the PO, maybe used it harder.........

It's always a bit of a gamble when buying used equipment. But, for the price being what it is, the risk of taking a loss goes down.

Aaron, I am relieved to find my Mitutoyo Absolute is genuine. After watching the video, I had to check.
My battery is SR44 and the retaining cap is round. Which is released by a slit in the cap. The fake one in the video slides.
I wonder how those people sleep at night, honestly.

I found this die press at a flee market. Does anyone know the purpose / use of these dies?

 

[7milesup]

I dunno but some of those dies look like the ones used to put grommets into tarps or even curtains.
