What Did You Buy Today?

[woodchucker]

Newbie to the site. I've got a lot of reading to do. I've been sort of collecting old stuff, an eclectic mix of machinery that I just like.
View attachment 481532 It all started with this! It's almost 100 years old, it came out of a garage in my hometown, and was headed to the dump in 1975 when I got it. It's a Sunnen bushing grinder/honing machine. The old mechanic bought it to fit kingpin bushings once Ford came out with the Model A. And I just can't help myself sometimes. If it is headed to the scrap yard and I can save it, well what can I say...

It's a sickness I tell you! A sickness. And I know that everyone here suffers from the same wonderful affliction! My pictures are haphazard and in random files. I'll post more as I find them. And if I don't keep going down all of the rabbit holes on here! What a better way to NOT get to the honeydo list...

welcome to HM... wow, I didn't know Sunnen was that old. cool.

If I was rich, I’d give Albrecht a go. Now the only thing I can afford from them, is the catalog

Slightly off-topic since I didn't buy anything, but this showed up in my mailbox.

Dang, @Mauzinette, I can only afford used Albrecht stuff!

Been looking for a taper pin reamer set. Owning odds and ends of both straight flute and spiral flute I was on the fence about which to invest in. These Millersburg spiral flute showed up on fleabay for $99. Excellent rust free condition and mostly unused. I guess I decided on spiral flute

picked up the bandfile at HF, it's ok.
On the other hand my Milwaukee bandfiles are too old, the glue is not holding.

A new old stock NAPA HSD7010 HSS drill bit set.

I don’t know if these are any good, but they were cheap and I needed an imperial drill bit set

Yanked this out of a drawer yesterday while unloading . Never seen one before , but a reversing ratchet thing .

Can you turn the saw 90 degrees and mount the motor in the W-T cabinet? That would be nifty, especially if the access panel lets you manage the belt. I'm not a fan of the Erector Set Craftsman stands, they rock and sway until you weld them solid.

Picked up a lathe today from @Oldseabee
His 13” Clausing Colchrster. All wedged into my garage.

Edit: it is a model 6527

Cutting oil is my blood.

Here's my Sunnen and the assortment that came with it. Picked it up this winter and haven't touched yet.

Came with this valve grinder, seat grinder and a few other things.
