What Did You Buy Today?

Say it ain’t so…..

Yep, afraid so. They still have their coupons on whatever happens to be the "tool du jour" of the week or month, but their blanket "20%" off the entire store has been gone for a while now. Also, their monthly sales catalog has been discontinued.

I bought my wife a new table...... An All Industrial 8" Rotary table.

Received a small rotary table, a Vertex HV-6. Got it from Eisen Machinery. It's about the right size for my small mill. Seems very well made, and surprisingly heavy for it's size.

Need to make some tee-nuts. Also need to make or buy some kind of a fixture plate.

Wow, two guys in a row getting rotary tables. Hmmmm, must be something in the water around here.

make your own... why buy? it's easy. I did it with a drill press before I had a mill. Made it for my lathes milling attachment.

Erik, after all that about being in debt to 70k? Do you have a real need for a bull nose that big. Do you realize you can take a regular center and make a bull nose attachment.. after all you are not doing .001 precision with a pipe.

We got a much larger than expected tax refund, & I won’t miss a chance to get another tool that I know I will use a lot.

This bull nose center is the only live center that I have ever seen that (1) fits on my lathe & (2) can be used for 8” Schedule 40 pipe.

They had a 20% and some people got a 25% off a week or so ago. It was notable because it was off any item but it was single use.

I got these punches that I wanted to use for marking my tools... I will have to change to my initials instead of my nick name... too long and not good penetration on the metals...

You can use a hyrdaulic press or even an arbor press to press it in. The hydraulic for harder stuff. it gives a nice even stamping. I started using it for simple single numbered/lettered dies when I want a good impression. it gives a nice even result.
