What Did You Buy Today?

Well it was about what I thought, but the shipping was outrageous, but then I sure did not expect overnite delivery either.
Pouch was $15 and shipping was a bit more than that.
BTW, the MSC item number for the pouch is 86405891
I had to contact MSC via the chat section on their web site.
 
Few days ago i stopped by the flea/tool market and found and bought me few things. First thing i found was this old and taken apart tire gauge 1.5$. Then after lost of walking i found and bought me Led light with magnets on the back and two magnetic rods 2$. But the fine of the day come in last, i found and bought me propane heater 50KW. It needs a thermocouple but i can jam the valve till the new thermocouple arrives. I've tested it and it heats up the big garage pretty quickly, i do need to insulate the front door.

Just a couple of small items today. I've always used Rapid Tap on the lathe, but the one downside is that it tends
to smoke and give off fumes. The shop is in the basement where ventilation is poor, and my wife complains that the smell drifts
up the stairs, so I thought I'd try something different. This stuff is advertised as producing very little smoke and based on the first
few jobs with it, I'd say it's true. No smoke and minimal smell, and it seems to work well.

I have a job where I need to turn the OD of a couple of steel rings that are tough to chuck up, so I bought an expanding mandrel.
Purchased off Amazon, but comes from a company called Breakheart Tool in New Hampshire, which states they're USA made.
Haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it will do the job. They make a variety of sizes, and they're machinable to whatever ID is needed.
 
Let us know if that stuff stinks as well.
I got some EP tap magic couple weeks ago that crap really stinks the place up.
Once it's gone it will be back to Mistic Metal Mover.
 
My Bison 6 jaw came in today and WOW, this thing is impressive!

Miles beyond any other chuck I've ever owned. Now I need to figure out how I'm going to mount it. The 1-3/4 8 threaded backplate I got off of Shars is too thin (I think, I don't know what I'm doing). Maybe EvilBay will have something.
 
I saw this Saylor-Beall 80 gallon at a local auction and figured it was going to go for a lot of money, but somehow I got it super cheap. It's got the factory after cooler, low-oil cutoff switch and really only needs the water separator added to be exactly what I want. It's three-phase, but I already have a new Baldor 5hp in the correct frame size, RPM, etc, so it's going to be an easy swap. I already had a super nice Quincy QR-25 80 gallon, 5hp, but it didn't have the after cooler and that was going to cost me almost as much as the price I paid for this S-B....and the S-B is newer (2008 on the tank). I haven't even cleaned it yet...this was just after moving it into the shop where I can work on it in a heated area.
