What Did You Buy Today?

[jwmay]

How are you guys finding these deals!!??? I can't find squat near me...

I found mine on the internet. I will apologize for not posting it in the forum, but they had only one Rockwell 21-100. Here's a picture I snapped while waiting for load out. I really wish I'd have bought one of these SB 9's too! Best part of it though was being able to see my Dads face when he saw the 36" shaper they had. I said remember that little Ammco I had? Here's what a "real" one looks like. Ha!

I bought some left hand drill bits just in case I need them. I got 1/8", 3/16", and 1/4" sizes.

Left hand drill bits can be very handy and sometimes they are all you need to get out that broken bolt.

Went back to the estate sale to pay what i owe and bought more stuff lol.

Bought the nice diamond grinder for 75$. I plan to buy a nice white stone as well so i can do hss

Bought the comparator table for the 5$ sticker the leather stuff in the bottle was free pretty much and the mag base is for a buddy of mine which was also 5$
I bought 10 MT2 drills at a 1$ a piece. Another bore gage at 25$. This one does 1.5-2.5. A box of gage pins and such i think was for 15$. Now inside that box there is a knurled handle cut at a MT2 taper. Any idea what that could be? It is smooth. A box of 3" parallels for my 3" machinist vice for 10$ and a hand hack saw for i think 10$?


Last but not least i bought this little tool kit bc it was made in South Bend, Indiana and it was cute. Has a little crescent wrench. Screwdriver and a little hammer. The screwdriver and the hammer attach to the handle.


Edit: not pictured is also an Aloris Axa tool holder and a cheaper Axa tool holder.

Received a 6mm carbide boring bar, from the Far East. Not too impressed with it. Already starting the eBay return process. It's an inferior version to what was listed. Sometimes the eBay game works, other times, not. The steel holder part is longer, weaker and cruder than the original listing photos showed.

@Brento - ya done good!

 

[Brento]

Thank ya. I will have to post a picture in a bit of the MT2 shank with the knurled handle. Idk what it is for

Well, I think I've got an either/or situation here.

Which one should I keep? I'd like to sell one off to pay for the other.

1) Darex M5 drill sharpener. One diamond wheel is missing, which runs about $200.


2) A couple Mitutoyo blade micrometers, 0-1" and 1-2". I've been keeping an eye out for these; sometimes the anvils on the full-sizers are a bit big when I'm working on small parts.


I had originally intended to sell off the Darex because I've already got a Drill Doctor (the "Pro" model, 750x I think).

It sure is nice though...

Anyone have any opinions worth sharing?

I see now that it says a southern gage so i am guessing it is a gage to check a cut MT? Idk how you would use it though?

You could apply some high-spot blue to the taper, insert it gently into the female taper, give it a twist, then remove and look for irregularities in how it's rubbed off.

-or-

Notice the groove near the large end of the taper. When you insert it into a female taper, the groove should probably line up with the end of the arbor.

Gotcha ok. My favorite thing is its has center holes on both sides so i can also set up my angle.
