What Did You Buy Today?

I only wanted the side boxes but the man said all four peices for 125.00.....
I pulled out two fifties and ask him if he would take 100.00

You've got me curious again.
In your picture showing the disc sander, please identify the white radiused "L" pieces hanging on the pegboard.
I assume they're templates for cutting/sanding corner radii but I've never seen those.
I googled what I thought (guessed) I could read but no luck.

Built a base for my Bridgeport SG.

They are router templates used in car audio and interior fabrication. Since I got the cnc router and co2 laser I mostly use them for layout and then draw in CAD and cut on cnc equipment. The arcs are nice for picking up a line off a car for example.

I bought a 5” straight tail lathe dog & a bunch of small straight tail lathe dogs from Machine Shop Discount Supply.

I had thought that the tails on the smaller ones were too short to reach my driving pin, but I figured out a way to get a dog driving pin closer to the centerline. I am working on that project later today.

I used to do a lot of resin casting, but it went into hibernation after I moved (8 years ago). I'm really wanting to get started up again so just got myself a nice 5 gallon pressure pot to replace the cheap 2.5 gallon HF pot I had. It should get here on Tuesday. Now I have to start looking around to find out what the current hotness is for resin supplies, after 8 years I'm a little out of the loop.

That looks like some serious equipment for resin casting. What do you cast?

5’ x 8’ Chinese router. I bought it from Hytek Tools and paid a premium for it at the time. It was my first cnc machine. I had to replace the controls. It came with Mach3 and was not at all stable or reliable. Replaced control with Centroid Acorn and it has been a great machine since.
