What Did You Buy Today?

If you mill it flat and then cut it a few thou deeper anywhere you can't hot with the wheel you can have the best of both worlds ;-)
Just dont go nuts on the hold down bolts!

I've been on the hunt for one of these Huot Master Drill Dispenser (No. 13175); it holds at least a dozen drills each of fractional, wire, and letter size in a pretty compact form factor, and also has an extra storage drawer at the bottom.

Virtually nothing in my shop is new, so I've been on the lookout for a decent deal on a used one in decent condition. I'd almost given up hope on and bit the bullet to buy a new one for around $500-$600.

But just in time, I found one about a 5-hr drive away and just couldn't pass it up. Paid about the same price as a new one would cost, but it came CHOCK FULL of drill bits. The cabinet is in EXCELLENT condition, with just a few scratches on the top. Seems the prior owner filled it up and let it sit over in the corner.

Yeah JRaut done good. I've also lusted over the big boxes seen in the background of Kieth R & Abom videos!
 
Today i stop by the flea/ tool market to buy me some tools. First couple of rows had nothing but cheap china tools, but then i found those, 90 degrees grab wrenches, 7$ for both, one for each garage. Then i came across this assortment of depinning tools bought them for 2,5$. Then i did lots more walking and found me couple of wrenches, i paid 5,5$ for all 3 of them. Then i found and bought me a set allen, torque and triple square set for 15$, my old set has many broken bits so it's cheaper just to get a complete set. Last thing i found was two MT5 heavy duty live centres for my lathe, both have worn tips, one is chipped but bearings feel perfect and the taper is in good shape, i paid 16$ for both and i plan to take them apart and repair the noses.

I was not aware that there was such a thing as a lathe file... Well, found that out and ordered one... arrived today with a few other things.

Bahco 1-104-10-3-0 Smooth Cut Lathe File, 10-Inch

Needed an all around ruler in 6" and 12"... the ones I had disappeared in my son's room... and also got a digital angle gauge...

Lathe files are actually a lot safer to use on a lathe than an ordinary file, because there's a lot less chance (if any actually) of the file being pushed back at you.
