A person should not leave me any free time, i visited one more importer, this one imports absolutely everything from germany and italy, but he only had two mills and both are robbed of their main parts one was missing the work table and motor. Other has no gears in its gearbox, absolutely worthless. As always i ask any tooling for sale. He had very little but i did pick out this stone dressing tool, same tool like i bought sunday but smaller and in much better shape, the seller did not know what is for, other thing i bought is this heavy duty square wrench, this one is metric and was cheap. No mill for me today but i did get couple more leads to see couple more next few days.

You've all heard the saying when you're looking for something you can't found it and when you don't need it you'll found it, well today when buying some round stock at my local steel place a older guy ask me, you'll going to machine something out of that, i said sure. Then he said i've got some old lathe cutters in my truck maybe you can use them but they are big. So we walk out to his 51 feet semi and he got those out of his tool bag and said any chance you can use them, yep just my size, then he said that he use to have more and he sold them at a good price but no one would take those because of ther size, he made me a great deal basically pay one take them all, and i've been looking for round carbide tool holder i've even order twice from ebay and they never come, the make on them is Secodex-C made in sweden, i've never had any of ther tools but they look to be pretty good quality.

Didn't exactly buy it... but I did pay for it...

That is the end of a 5 inch center punch... I kept it after the local garage pulled it out of my tire. It is in good usable condition except for the head, which was ground on an angle from being run against the pavement.

They saved the tire by putting a patch inside the tire... that cost me $20...

Bear, at least you've got something worth some back (centre panch), couple of days ago i got a broken wheel bolt in my windscreen on the highway, thankfully it did not enter the cabin but it will cost me probably one more zero then you.
 
Did a little Craigslist shopping over the last couple of days. :)

Everything looks to be in new condition.
16N Jacobs chuck, needed a new drill chuck for my lathe
Albritch sensitive chuck, because I didn't have one
123 blocks, can never have enough of these
Inch & metric thread pitch gages, they were cheap, couldn't turn them down.
2 Fowler digital indicators, 0.001, cheap, too good to pass up
0-1, 1-2, 2-3 SPI digital mics, fair prices, look unused. Another addition to my collection.

And last but not least, a 30 inch Harbor Freight fan (new), because it's hot in the shop and my old fan died.
