What Did You Buy Today?

That type of work stop looks like a good project. Why does it need to be so large?

Sometimes it’s make or buy decision time.
This time the buy team won.

Yes this would have been a nice project but time is limited and I do this as a hobby.

Besides, the unfinished projects pile is big enough

Agreed! I've had a radius turner on my "list of good intentions" for years. Would be "one and done" if I found a decent deal on one.

The easter bunny visited me (again) this this week. And this time he brought a Haimer 3D Taster (glorified edge finder). With an integrated BT30 tool holder.

And there is still 1 week to easter...

How do you like it? I was looking at one with just the 10mm stud top to hold in my R8 machine. I think it will just fit in a 10mm collet? Pricey but seems better than my current edge finder.

I thought there was a typo...3D Taster.

I am in the market myself. A few questions, if you don't mind-

What RPM motor?
Two or single stage?
What 'stated' CFM at 100 psi?
How much dough, and what was shipping/delivery like?

Well, Quincy is one of the last fully made in USA compressor brands out there in this size range. This thing just oozes quality. The pump is a 2-stage that provides 17.2 CFM of 175 psi service air at 942 pump RPM (if you want a good high volume1-stage, try Jenny). The motor is a Baldor, of course! I've never seen such a massive compressor head and motor on any other so-called 5hp air compressor. The intercooler and aftercooler are icing on the cake. It'll cost you double what a Chinese import with a defunct, reappropriated American brand name on it will, but that is a distinction that I am willing to pay for. And the 6-year bumper to bumper warranty is nice.

It is a super nice tool. Costs a fortune and is one of those tools that one should buy new, but it works really good and will make set-up much easier.

I took the integrated toolholder version because this is the shortest option and will save a lot of Z travel

Sounds like a winner. I will be sure to consider the overall height before ordering. Thank you.
