Picked up this automatic (semi-automatic?) strapping machine off craigslist today along with an additional roll of strapping new in the box. If I would have ordered from Uline, I would have spent over $1000 more than I gave for it. Felt like a really good deal. This will really help with wrapping up my parts for shipping. Pretty excited about it for such a non-fun thing!

Bought me one of those nifty CNC Bridgeports. Got it for $2500, along with a Bridgeport vice, and a CNC pallet (flat piece of steal with lots of threaded holes for mounting), and Ah-ha control system, plus an Acorn control board. I got it in excellent condition, then proceeded to dump it on its face in the driveway.

I was trying to inch it over that 1/4" lip from the driveway to the garage. It came off the trailer just fine with a couple 4x4s bolted to the bottom. A come-along attached to the Enco mill at the back of the garage made that easy enough. But, it was a couple inches too tall to get through the door with the 4x4s bolted to the bottom. In hindsight I should have taken the 3 minutes to pull the head at the turret (which I ended up having to do anyway). It's only 4 bolts and would have made it less top heavy, and an easier move to boot. I also should have had the engine lift attached, but it was seriously in the way.
Oh, well. It broke off the Y axis motor, and the spindle speed adjust knob. Neither is more than an irritating distraction to repair. It's inside now, and I'm starting the work to get the axis controls working with the current electronics, or swapping it out for modern closed-loop steppers and drivers.

Two pairs of 246 blocks, and some 6061 for soft jaws. The box of 246 blocks was surprisingly heavy. Cleaned up the first pair. Need to mark the pairs some how. For now, maybe will get a pair of set screws? One pair will have them, the other won't? D battery is just for scale. Threads are 5/8-11. Maybe I'll make a simple pair of set screws for it. Thread, part, trim, and a simple slot. Doesn't have to be sophisticated...

I know that feeling all too well. Not fun. I'm glad you got it back inside and have a way forward.

Other set of 246 blocks has some scratches. Deep enough to feel it with a fingernail, which is a bit discouraging. They seem to run across both blocks on the 2x6 face, with one face having the fingernail scratch. The first set is very nice. Is there a simple way to take off the small bur? Can I use some surface ground stones for this? I have a pair. Something better? No SG in my shop.
