What Did You Buy Today?

If you’re talking about the ones in my link:

These are the ones I'm looking at.

They actually don't spell out the thread. Being a "2x4x6" blocks, you would hope English, but with these low cost imports it's always a gamble.

I picked up a 1" carbide countersink yesterday, American made Monster (new) 50 buck with tax.... Not an extraordinary deal but it is sooooo Pretty.... I am attracted to shinny things, it is my greatest weakness... LOL

It's rather selfish of you not to post a picture for us to enjoy. We like shiny things too!

Same photos, so probably the same. You can always message the Seller.

Make sure the holes are drilled larger than the threaded ones, most cheap imports have the same (or close) size which makes it fun to bolt together.

Let us know how it works. I have a tough time with that style chattering.

Me too. I've gotten good at making single flute countersinks. I also get good results with D-bit countersinks, they're easy to make for any angle, but tricky to center on the mill table compared to a full conical c'sink. Best finish bar none is O-flute. O-flutes aren't picky, as long as the cutting edge has a little bit of lead. Multi-flute c'sinks chatter no matter what, so I only use them for deburring or chamfering if I have to using a hand drill. They're great for that, because they tolerate misalignment well.

A McMaster order arrived today:

10' of control wire, a 3/8" Bondhus blade, and to coupler nuts. Now I can get the motor wired to the drum switch and get the bed tied to the workstation in the way I (think) I want. Also, I found this at a garage sale on Sunday:

A Diana 45 in .177. This is one of the better German air rifles from the eighties. She is a real sweat shooter, especially with the diopter sight I pulled out of my parts bin. Air guns are great because I can shoot them in my basement before my wife gets up in the morning.
