What Did You Buy Today?

I'm in europe it's not thanksgiving day here. Happy thanksgiving everyone.
 
Technically this was yesterday’s buy.
A 6” rotary table with tailstock and dividing plates.
For $270 USD/$350 CDN I am very impressed with it.
Once I cleaned off the remains of the La Brea tar pit it’s remarkably well made.
Minimal backlash and very solid.

I ordered my Xmas presents, for myself, taking advantage of Shars 20% off weekend. A couple of years ago I had bought a cheap extended nose live center. It has way too much slop to make it useful. So splurged and ordered what I hope will be a major improvement. I'll use the MT3 shank from the old one for some future project. Also on the order a No.10 broach set. I've done the thing of single point broaching on the mill or lathe. It takes me forever and is hit or miss accurate. A few other small items and I hit my self imposed spending limit.
 
Parting tool I can be proud to use from Shars. The little 1 always made a fool of me.

That looks just like my Vertix 7". Mine you can take off the knob, and it it will take the index plates, and knobs from my 6" dividing head, making it even more usefull.
 
I have the smallest Noga magnetic base indicator holder, but it is often too small for a task.

I just bought the second largest Noga mag base universal swivel clamp, which is a Noga MG71003. It was 10% off with free shipping ($96.37 delivered):

The 3 arms are 13.7” in total length.

The largest Noga mag base (which I did not buy) has a magnet (base) that is twice as wide as the Noga mag base above and is too large for any of my tasks.

Yup, this one is exactly the same. The handle is a bit of a beast to remove. Probably just some burrs and such.
