No rationalization needed. Just asking cuz I'm thinking I might need one and you may have one extra!:D
 
I have been looking for an indexer or spacer in the 4" to 6" size range for a while. I saw an add for a 6" spacer. When I went to view the spacer, it turned out to be a machine shop GOB sale. I bought the spacer along with several other items. The spacer ended up being 8". It's really too big but I figured I can use it until I find a suitable smaller replacement, which I hope occurs soon as this thing is a real beast. It came with a three jaw chuck, 5 indexing plates, a back plate, and a fixturing table. The seller said it was a Yuasa but I have my doubts as i can't find any identifying marks. It's in pretty good condition.

I also purchased a 5c indexer which is a Yuasa Rapid Index fixture 550-005.

Lastly, I picked up a few small items including a Jacobs 14N drill chuck and a Criterion Boring head DBL 202

The Jacobs chuck is in real nice condition, while the boring head is a little rough but functional.

I plan to use the spacer to make a spider for my PM 1340 GT lathe and the boring head for enlarging the opening in the gear cover. I have not used a boring head before and am not sure if this one is of the appropriate size for this operation.

At any rate, I'm not sure I really needed any of this stuff but I just couldn't walk away. .

I would like to add a small 3 jaw to the Yuasa Rapid Indexer. Anyone know of a source of an economically priced piece that would fit? It would have to be in the 5" to 6" range with a 2.36" bore.

I'm close by if you decide to sell that 8" super spacer! Wish I had a smaller one to offer in trade.
 
I will definitely let you know when I'm ready to pass the spacer on. It's really too big for my machine. As soon as I get around to finishing my spider project, it may be time for a new home.
 
I have been busy on E-bay. I bought a nice nearly new 24" Starrett rule. A set of thread files. A larger battery and some new cases for my Gopro. Some 5c square collets. A led light with a mag base for the bandsaw. A Phase 2 coaxe indicator. And lastly an exacto razor knive set. It was like Christmas. I was getting packages everyday in the mail.
 
Picked up some Rawls straight 3 flute drill bits and holders..made in England..can't find any info on goggle.do see same brand listed as concrete bits but these are different..
 
If figured they were older.retired machinist friend said he thinks they are for drilling cast iron but he's not sure.any ideas.i'm gonna chuck one up in drill press and see what it will poke a hole in
