What Did You Buy Today?

I bought some new tools and accessories for the shop today. Been having a hard time milling pockets in aluminum with my end mills. Cheat TiN coated ones but maybe coolant and chip evacuation will help, and I got some metric taps as I plan on making Phil Vandelays belt grinder.

also got 4 new tool holders for the lathe as a start. Will build up significantly as my tooling grows. AI has a sale going on right now. I think I may also buy a few Colton’s and compare with the AI branded ones.

If you get into it and want ramp and soak, consider converting the controls with a PID setup. It’s the cat’s meow!

PID setup?
I watched a Keith Rucker video, he has his laptop connected to his Hotshot 360. That would be cool and much easier to program.

He has a new controller, American Rotary asked Automation Direct to expose the USB... You have the usb on the old controller, but you have to pull the module from it's holder, the new one, wires it to an external usb. Talk to Stan...
 
This Gasoline powered Dayton Speedaire compressor was purchased to support Plasma Cutting. It's 8 HP Kohler engine will make one less thing to run a power cord to. It is old-school silver-grey.

It looks ragged, but it runs.
