What Did You Buy Today?


:eek:
Nice... I can solve the issue of being able to reach the drawbar.... and save the $$ on the Maxi Torque powered drawbar setup... and blue is my favorite color...
 
Ordered an R-8 Drawbar for Power Drawbar System directly from Wells-Index...

Now I can order the Maxi Torque Rite... the folks at Maxi Torque Rite could not supply a drawbar for my machine... had to get that from Wells-Index...
 
Got my insert tool i bought on facebook for 12$. Need to figure out the insert size now so i can pick some up. Also got in my fonts for a an engraver missing some number 1s but still a very good start. Ill have to figure out a way now to set these up so i can use them. If anyone has a table to send me some measurements for New Hermes fonts. Please message me.

Nothing fancy, I actually got this in about a week ago. I designed and built a bracket for a Pattern Makers Carving Vice. I use this vice for holding my rifles for cleaning and doing work. But it also has two bars that run down below the jaws, if you slip when placing the rifle you could damage something. So I designed a bracket that is padded that prevents this from happening. I needed to be able to form a 90 degree bend into the sheetmetal the bracket is made from so purchased one of these vice mounted brakes. Not anything fancy but it does a good job of forming a good tight bend and it is small enough that it can be stored in the in the pilothouse.

Here is the brake

And here is a couple of images of the bracket. Will see how many of my fellow shooters use these and are interested.

Need to do some learning and adjusting on the CAM side of things.

Nice unit. I understand that you are still setting it up and it does take a bit to get the end product, but well worth the learning curve. Be sure to start internal cuts inside the cut line and external cuts outside the cut line to prevent the initial penetration from damaging the part.

I would love to have one of those. Had a shop that use to do laser cutting of parts for me. The quality was amazing as was the price for the machine.
 
I bought this off Marketplace this morning. It’s an older one seems heavy , 6000 lb . If anyone recognizes the brand there no manufacturers name , at least I did fine one yet . The boss is checking it over lol The neighbor helped me unload it . If you’re wondering why we have the garage door op it because inside is 27 degrees and 36 outside lol
