What Did You Buy Today?

[kuchervano]

Got a few drill press vises on sale at horrible freight equivalent. Plan on breaking them soon and DIYing a heavy duty version...
Also ordered a 4" rotary table from India. Fingers crossed its repairable/rebuildable :/

Looks like a nice little pen maker.

Two Durham 18" X 12" X 3" steel cases. The left one has adjustable sized compartments that will hold taps, reamers, and broaches. The right case is fixed and will hold end mills. There is a drawer cabinet that Durham sells that allow these to slide like a drawer. That will be my next purchase. These look to be very nicely made.

I just ordered a 10" x 2" 200g CBN wheel for my WEN Tormak clone grinder from Wood Turners Wonders. Using a wet wheel is just too much bother and mess for me.
Now that you can buy a CBN wheel in 10" for $179, its a no brainer in my book.

I brought a bucket of kitty litter home...





And a box...







A co-worker was cleaning out his garage over the weekend and decided all of this had to go... he brought it to me. We haven't settled on a price yet, he just said 'whatever you feel comfortable with'...

I'm gonna have to buy another Vidmar cabinet, I think...

I Google'd your model# and a few pictures showed up with an 8" disk direct drive off the motor. Also had an aluminum table with a miter gauge slot.

On Sunday I went to the antique store in Baltimore where I bought my book horde over a year ago (the ones I had for sale in our classified section). This time I found a Starrett 9 to 10 in caliper box and another cool wood box that looks like its probably for a microscope. Both boxes came out of the local Kaydon factory, that used to be Koppers, and is moving operations. The microscope box has the Koppers name on the inside and the owner of the antique store gave me a Kopper's asset tag. Pretty cool. I love these old wood boxes. One of the cool parts for me is that a local guy that donated some items to Tuckahoe Steam & Gas had retired from Koppers!

Ahhhh........................Kaydon . I was down there 4 times for interviews 3 years back . I know they finally moved up to Hanover as planned . I was working down the Sunpapers at the time and told them I wasn't interested in driving farther into the city for $5 pay cut . I know alot them retired but you have to wonder if they took the union contracts up to Pa . Doubt it .

My last trainee on nightshift came from Kaydon also . He quit a few months ago in here and he's now down Chesapeake Machine working for my buddy Joe . Stricktly CNC work , no manual .
