What Did You Buy Today?

[Gnpenning]

Awhile back a local auction had some restaurant equipment for sale. I bought some french fry baskets and use them for small parts in my solvent tank. See large deep pans with and out holes in the bottom as separators for meat and such in my chest freezer. A few smaller pans for parts separation and organizing.

If you had to buy stainless steel kitchen hardware you would pay$$$$$ big time!
Shop use, I think I would grab a few of the pans and round, square and rectangular pieces.
You can make things out of the SS. If it’s cheap take advantage of the opportunity

it is all used stuff

Some great ideas above....... I'll add:

chip pans for lathe
chip/tool catchers for mill table
pot for water at the grinder (to replace all the steel cans that keep rusting thru)
a couple shallow pans for sorting bolts/nuts/washers (ie. dump the bin in and paw thru to find what you need and pour back in bin)
tool trays for beside the vehicle when doing brakes; keeps the rotor and wheel nuts out of the gravel and grit
big pan for oil, transmission, differential fluid changes

Anyone hear of COLTON Industrial? Made in the USA and not much more $ than China made. I just bought a couple AXA holders from them, I want to get more from them, but I had never heard of them so I'll see....Anyone?

Do you have access to a coaxial indicator for your mill? Handy tool to own

Good overview of the tool here.

I am not a fan of Chris's. Long winded, and always was unable to spend time in the shop for one reason or another.

But I guess because I clicked on this James Kilroy just came up ...
Later I'll take a pic of a diamond cutter I have, but it's different, and I don't use it.

edit : Here's a knock off diamond... I got this from a machinist...
