What Did You Buy Today?

That is one very fine Rong Fu pattern mill! I mean, that is dee-luxe. And a metal belt guard, no less.

Good story, too!

Nope .. the pulley cover is plastic --- on a high note I did get it assembled today. Now I just need to work on the "align" auto feed that came with. I seem to be missing a couple of items for that unit

Bought last week on FB Marketplace, but when they arrived the case, foam (and even the steel parts) stank – tossed the foam, sanitized the case & pieces, then found & cut new foam:

Harig Super Wee-Blocks (https://harigmfg.com/superwee.html https://www.penntoolco.com/harig-super-wee-blocks/). I also replaced the as-received 6-32 SHCS which were in rough shape with new ones fitted with Shear-Loc knobs (come back soon to see what this resulted in).

The Super Wee-Blocks are similar to my Fowler X-Blox Jr (https://www.travers.com/product/fowler-52-475-025-0-v-block-clamp-57-071-111) which I got at a great price on eBay a little over 2 years ago, when I had even more time on my hands:

Biggest difference is that the Harig Wee-Bocks include "bridges" that allow for long stock to be held; now that I have seen these I'll have to make a bridge for the X-Blox Jr.

Ive seen them around. Thought about getting a set but had no use for them. Yet.
