What Did You Buy Today?

[ChazzC]

Swarf likes Terry, and micro fiber rag

Which is why I use a brush & vacuum: it doesn’t take much swarf to make a rag unusable & hazardous to handle).

Well, time to get started! The stainless isn’t going to sand itself

Wow. You ain't f*#@!ng around, man. How many Ace Hardware stores did you have to roll over in order to build that stack? Is all that abrasive more expensive than a well-loved surface grinder? Maybe not so good for 300 series, but dang. You got your work cut out for you, Mannie my man.

Hey, you use Aloris CXA right? PM me your address for another free-for-the-cost-of-shipping toolholder (Aloris made). The pass around box is hibernating for the winter, and it's overweight already, so it's yours if you want it. I'll even reblue it and put good grub screws in it. A good deal just got better, comrade.

I use the cloths for the final wipe down before oiling, it picks up the shiny stuff normal cleaning leaves behind.

I asked the Ace employee to special order exactly what I needed, & it was in hand in 3 days. I could have gotten it for about 10% cheaper on eBay, but in this case I did not have time to wait.

I will PM you my info. Thank you for your generous offer.

Brought home the auction finds today..

We had so many grinding fixtures that I suggested perhaps we sell this linco one... to get some funds towards obtaining the parts missing from the harig grind all no2.

His reaction was like I tried to steal his "precious"




It's a nice punch former, but damn dude chill out.

I also got a pulled muscle or something in my mid chest on the right hand side... not sure what I was lifting that caused that... lots of heavy stuff today like a 12" x 24" sine plate, or a 6" x 18" Forza milling vise.

Also got two box sets of Mitutoyo outside micrometers 0-6 and 6 -12... because we got outbid on the full set in a single box. Combined we got the better deal by far

I splurged on this Criterion boring head. It replaces my cheap beginner one. It’s in very good condition and the price was quite fair - an accepted offer on eBay. I had been looking for a while and only found ones, usually more expensive, and in worse condition.

Magnetic set up blocks, from Fireballtool. I'm installing new frame rails under the Nova, and needed exact spacing from the old frame rail, perfect...
