What Did You Buy Today?

[mmcmdl]

Some red oak, (open pored grain), and the sides appear to be more ash (more closed pored),

You know , you just can't beat a good piece of ash chucker .

figured out that this never had a front door/panel. It probably only had a middle bar, that locked the draws in. That would make more sense since the knobs would not allow it to have a front panel.

These arrived today... No wonder the RC2000 was out of stock... that seems to be the perfect size for what I need...
RC1000 and RC2200 in the photo... AA battery so you have an idea how small the RC1000 is...

I was able to find it with another vendor and still at a fair price (many places have them way overpriced... )

I had no idea that I need one of those.

Both grinders run good... everything is very dirty, with some rust... I'll have to spend some time cleaning it all up and see if I can figure out how to use it. I've downloaded the manuals from vintagemachinery already...
