Finding a plain back one that isn't a zillion dollars is proving a bit hard...

I have bought from this seller before. Import tooling but seems to be decent.

I bought 2 Goldenrod 10 ounce pistol pump oilers. $15 each, delivered.

I use these for putting way oil in ball oilers.

Thanks!

I bought one with an integral D1-4 mount from roughly $150, about 5 yrs ago, I do not use it much, but it is handy for some uses.

I have a nice set of Snap-on drivers that I’ve had since I was a kid and I really like them. But they’re downstairs in the shop, so....

I had my first eBay auction success in ages.
Scored a 5C spindexer for $50.
Should be here next week.

Now that you have a surface grinder you are going to love using this spindexer on it...... I use it most of the time with a cut off wheel on the surface grinder.....

I got about 20 cut off wheels with the grinder but I’m trying to picture how they’d be used with a spindexer.

To cut parts off to very exact dimensions..... Kinda like parting on the lathe.....

Oh that makes complete sense.
It’s hard to imagine a cutoff wheel as a precision tool.

When you mount a cut off on an arbor you need to make sure to have 2 extra plates on both side of the wheel about 3" od 25" thick to make the wheel a little more rigid.... Center the spindex spindle with the grinder spindle and plunge the wheel while turning the spindex against the rotation of the grinder (so climb grinding only)......

Also for parting hardened materials.....
