What Did You Buy Today?

I’ll be watching for your DRO install thread.
 
New sealing washer for the press (£0.44), and some hydraulic fluid.

It's amazing how well it keeps fluid in the system now that there's a washer between the gauge and the cylinder. BTW repairs to the gauge are good and holding, glycerine is no longer weeping out the bottom where the brass threaded section comes through the gauge case. :)
 
DON'T GO INTO THE CHARITY THRIFT STORE!
Walked in the front door and there on a lunch room sized table was grandpa's shop tools.
Looked like someone cleaned out his shop and took it to the store.
Found a live center. Talking with the young guy at the cashier's he mentioned that there was a lot of stuff like that earlier today, someone bought it all.
*UGH!* missed it by ->||<- that much.

A couple of 'Thorsens' and a couple of 'Macs', and a few Craftsman.

Center is going to need some attention, but for $3.99 I can suffer thru it. rotates smoothly though.
Imagine the impact to the budget if I'd gotten there earlier...

The upper wrench is a Craftsman, so worn you can barely read it.
the 2nd one is a 25/32" & 3/4" box...

Reminds me of a Wagner Safety Planer

Not much for tools lately, been selling rather than buying which is not normal for me. Got me a bottle filled up from a B&M plumbing supply shop of some stinky dark sulfurized cutting oil.

Tape dispenser like the ones we used at my old work for my fancy expensive polypropylene masking tape.

Extra long solid carbide end mill to fix one of the slots on the screwless vise that I use on the bandsaw. That thing put up a small fight but I got it done with no issues.

Looks similar to what 'OutsideScrewball' had to do recently.
 
I like that tape dispenser, although I would use it for my 2" filament tape and that's because I have no idea how good polypropylene masking tape is. :tranquility: :)

How did I miss that! I'm subscribed to his channel too. Hope he's doing well, last I heard he was diagnosed with cancer & his son passed away.

Yup that's pretty much what I did except mine was not nearly as bad as his. On mine it was just the first slot (for jaws to be closed) which I rarely used & it was just one side. It still grabbed ok & it never bothered me for years, just came to mind the other day so thought I might as well fix it.
