What Did You Buy Today?

Lol I’m pretty sure [mention]woodchucker [/mention] meant he doesn’t use the caliper case for calipers. I imagine he likes drill indexes just fine.

I honestly thought he meant the index cases rather than the caliper cases. Might have been because I'm sore from muscling my arbor press onto its stand, hauling down the stand down into my basement and cutting steel plate with a Saws-all. Must have short circuited my common sense.

The caliper cases take up to much room, I agree. Loose drill bits in a toolbox, umm, no thanks. But if I were moving - I'd use the cases for the calipers and micrometers and DTI's...
 
An ebay find...

I found a stand for my Delta 12" disk grinder...

It's too short for me, but I can always add risers or casters under it to raise it a fuzz...

Otherwise, it's in very good condition, just needs a good cleaning.

This morning I drove over to HGR in Birmingham and spent a couple of hours browsing through their showroom.

I came home with a couple of hardware cabinets...

And a 2hp Marathon motor that appears to be new...

I plan to use the motor on a Hendey lathe.

While I was there, I found this...

No, I didn't buy it... so far, I'm resisting temptation...

Yuck! Looks like cheap Chinese! I'd be talking big discount. That part should have been scrapped rather than sending it out. Where is QC?
