What Did You Buy Today?

[WobblyHand]

Yes. I bought a new DTI from them. Interapid 0.0001. Very nice. At least for new stuff, very good to deal with. Don't know how they grade used stuff, but it seems like they don't hide anything, at least judging by their pictures.

Got me a new Tree Taper Boring Head. Looks darn near brand new; even came with the original instructions and wrenches!

This is actually my third Tree boring head I've had over the years, plus I currently have a Lenz LKD II taper boring head destined for a new home. I've sold off the other Trees but I think I'll end up keeping this one for the long haul.






Traded it straight up for this HUGE old shaft vise (over 100# of luscious French iron), for which I had less than zero need.

They're cooler than they are useful.

But I like cool.

I finally have a face plate for my lathe.
I found it on Ebay.
It was a fair price.
I cleaned it up a bit and mounted it. Runs smooth- no wabble!!

 

[Eyerelief]

Oh yea, that faceplate is cool! What will you bolt to if first?
