What Did You Buy Today?

[woodchucker]

Yesterday I was given a millermatic 251, a metabo abrasive chop saw and a Bosch 4 inch grinder. All were going to be thrown out! my neighbor was friends with the guy so we drove to his shop and picked them up along with 40 pounds of scrap steel. Pictures to come later! Here is his website: https://www.tirewash.com/

wow you SUCK!!

Congratulations Braeden, that is a huge score. I've seen your posts, and while you're young, you're not too young to get a suckage reply! Keep it up!

Here’s some goodies that arrived in the mail today

I like the Mit balls, I have starrett, which are full round, I think the half balls are nicer, since you can measure the bottom of the hole. And .125 min... nice. I'm salivating over those.

2” boring head, straight shank adapter and boring hit set from Little Machine Shop.

Surprisingly good quality, better than I expected for the price. Gib in the head is saw-cut into the head so it flexes and isn’t loose. Also has small ball bearings to lock down on for the gib once your diameter is set. I replaced the set screws for SHCS. The set screws were stripping out way to easily. Otherwise happy with the purchase.

Still trying to decide on the rotary table... going with 6", that is set... But do I just order the table or do I order one with all the accessories??



In the mean time... received these yesterday:

Starrett 91A Tap Wrench, 1/16" - 1/4" Tap Size, 3/32" - 5/32" Square Shank Diameter, 6" Body Length
Starrett 91B Tap Wrench, 3/16" - 1/2" Tap Size, 5/32" - 9/32" Square Shank Diameter, 9" Body Length
GEARWRENCH 7 Pc. Hook & Pick Set - 84000H

And ordered today a foot pedal switch to control the portable bandsaw... that I will be fixing in place to make it easier to use... From that other thread

I only use the indexing plates when making a gear. The dial and Vernier on the table is accurate enough for most things. Tailstock for long work or arbors. The chuck looks very small, limiting? How does the chuck attach? Using strap clamps on a 6" RT will mean very small work pieces. All comes down to what your intended use is.

Thank you. Went ahead and ordered just the table...
