Bought some Widia M3 and M4 taps and an extended length (160mm) 3.3mm drill. Spiral point and spiral flute taps, for through holes and blind holes respectively. Slowly upgrading my taps as I need them.

I went to an estate sale yesterday, one that listed machine tools. Not much there that I felt I needed, at least not at those prices. But I did pick these up:
The Starrett is a #230, so .ooo1, while the six inch combo is a Stanley Sweetheart.

A few ebay buys showed up over the weekend...
A small Milwaukee hacksaw...
These are very handy for cutting in tight places.
A Shars centering indicator...
Someone on here bought one of these a few days ago... I don't remember who it was and I'm too lazy to go back and look. I saw their post and decided I needed one too... so thanks for spending my money...
And a 5C collet rack...
It fits right in my Lista cabinet.

I like the Milwaukee Stab Saw frame: I have a couple of the old fashioned ones that require a wide, thin-bladed screwdriver; the lever is a great addition (new tool time, yippee!).
I also have the same rack in R-8 that I use for end mill holders, odd collets and arbor-mounted stuff:
To save drawer space, most of my R-8 collets (mix of inch & mm) live in one of those metal flip-top racks on the side of the cabinet, next to the clamping set:

I have two sizes of that tool: don’t use them often, but when you need them they do a great job.
