What Did You Buy Today?

[Winegrower]

I went with a friend to pick up a horizontal bandsaw seen on Craigslist. When we got there, we discovered a machinist closing his mold making business and downsizing. He had a nice Kunming KM10 or such tool and cutter grinder, bought that, then he started throwing in other things and making what seemed like give-away prices on a bunch of other things. I could not resist. The pictures below show most of what I got.
There were a couple of 1.5" and 2" drills, not shown, and the piles are actually pretty deep...more down under. Look at those big reamers. Not shown was a full Silver and Deming drill set up to about 1.25", a large set of counterbores, Also a set of disc shaped gauge blocks. Oh, and a 2" boring head for the mill, and a small high quality floating keyless chuck for fine drilling on the lathe. Now where to put these?

Wow, that’s a haul @Winegrower!

Four flower bouquets and four Mother’s Day cards: $85. After seeing the reactions, $85 was a steal.

They're 6" wheels, so start a bit smaller than the standard 7". I think someone could get a better deal if they wanted to take the whole lot. I think he's got 75 left.

Drove three hours to hopefully buy a "mini-mill", but it turned out to be a midsize older Jet that was just too big for my allotted space in the garage.
Dejected, I stared at the old Bridgeport vise in the driveway. "How much would you sell just the vise for?"
"Well, you drove the whole way down here... $50 I guess"
I was dumbfounded with the idea of stumbling into a 6" vise for $50, as my jaw was on the driveway, he looked at me and took pity I guess.
"I feel bad you drove that far, give me $20 and it's yours"

TAKE MY MONEY!



Loaded it up and got out of there before he changed his mind.

not strictly a machining tool, but a tool none the less:



I suppose in the shop it's main use will be de-staticing those damned shipping peanuts that stick to everything when you unpack something buried in them.....
