What Did You Buy Today?

Internal key cutter is easy to make. I’ve done a bunch of 2mm keys for first robotics gears and pulleys with mine.

Thanks. I have one half made, no excuse now not to finish it. "I'm a gunna."

8" Logan shaper. Craig's List Photo, still in the trailer until the shop is finished, I hope this week. Had hoped the tooling would include an internal key cutter, but not that lucky. Vise is original. Too funny, guy purchased it in the town I just brought it back to.

This one?

Logan/Porter Cable/Brodhead-Garret 8-inch shaper - tools - by owner...

Sweet little metal shaper. Works wonderfully and I have used it for tool making. Has tooling vise and lexan shield to keep chips in the tray. Eight inches square, the box table Maximum real stroke...

Ordered a MIG welder... got an additional 10% discount with one of those YouTube videos... Went with this one: YesWelder YWM-211P Double Pulse Aluminum MIG Welder

And is it hinged (connected) at the bottom of the jaws? Maybe a blacksmith vise?

Yes, to hinged on the bottom, but not really a blacksmith vise since it's not intended for heavy work. They won't withstand much in the way of pounding since they're cast iron compared to a blacksmith post vise which can take years of abuse at the end of a hammer.

The piece on the left...

...is an 'anvil'. It mounts to the bench with the slot in the bottom. The vise swivels in the anvil... there is a locking handle on the opposite side to lock the swivel.

Got it. I also saw a few videos on it. There is even a manual drill press attachment for it... cool

I received the package from @mattthemuppet2 today. I paid him Thursday, & I have the items in hand 4 days later with a Sunday in between.

This was $390. Everything is solid carbide. It is 8 quantity 1” endmills, plus smaller endmills, chamfer mills & inserts that you see.

I cleaned him out. I’m going to have to stop buying stuff for the next year so I can pay our debts down to zero.

Matt always had stellar service & amazing prices.

Needed a few things and placed an order with McMaster earlier today...

4 - 316 Stainless Steel Ultra-Low-Profile Socket Head Screw M4 x 0.70 mm Thread, 16 mm Long
6 - 316 Stainless Steel Ultra-Low-Profile Socket Head Screw M4 x 0.70 mm Thread, 6 mm Long
1 - Tight-Tolerance High-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Rod 10 mm Diameter, 1/2 Feet Long
1 - Carbide Round-Shank Reamer 4 mm Reamer Diameter
1 - 5C Round Collet 10 mm Size... probably could have used a 3/8" collect that I have, but did not wanted to risk it... and yes, I have an ER40 collect chuck for the G0709 with metric collect set, but guess in what house that is... back in Orlando, it never made it to Ocala!

Since I was there, this got my attention, I do not have one here in Ocala, figured I would get this one...

1 - Scriber for Hardened Steel and Stainless Steel Straight Retractable Tip, 6-1/2" Length

And now, while I write this... I am having second thoughts... the other one that I have is a Starrett... it is thin and the tip is much, much longer... that makes it easier to scribe in small spaces. hummm.... I might regret this purchase. We will see...

That scribe sure is pretty! I think I need that for Christmas.

I got my Rees No.2 toe jack. 4 ton capacity built in the 1920's. Really cool and it won't leak down or blow a seal like a hydraulic jack will.

You have to make a video using it... wow! That looks so cool. Where did you find it? What is the story behind it? Any?
