What Did You Buy Today?

I also thought pipe cutter first, but i noticed knurling wheels it doesn't look modified and almost looks like is forged, very heavy duty.

I like the clever lever - good way to get the needed amount of force on the knurling wheels.

Garage sale score 1 block over from me. Got the Kennedy top box for $25.00

And I scored a tub of klingspor sand paper and emery cloth for $20.00
There's a lot of sanding material in that tub. Most of it will go into the wood shop.

Started trimming out the new chicken coup with 1" x 2" cedar trim. Made for heavy use of my Delta 12" miter saw and the thrown together years ago stand. Actually was a TV stand in a previous life, then had a TRS-80 Model III computer on top of it in the late 70's/early 80's. Made up a couple loose supports that hung on the back of the stand for storage, but time for a "real" stand.

Took advantage of a Mendards 11% off sale and picked up their Masterforce stand for around $150 after the rebate. Much more stable on legs instead of the old stand on casters. Adjustable work supports also have stops on the ends for repetitive cuts. They recommend removing the saw for transport; mounting details snap off the stand and are bolted to the saw; cam locks attach it to the saws rails. Happy with it so far but I only have my old TV stand for comparison. One thing I'll add is a storage box for a pencil and tape measure. It has a bracket for those, but kind of a crappy design.

Also picked up a Harbor Freight 5-drawer chest for my Tormach 1100 tooling. I have one for my Grizzly G0709 lathe and attached a 5-C collet rack to the lid. May do the same thing with the Tormach, have 60 or so tool holders for the mill at present.

MT2 tailstock die holder. Looks like they fetched it out an oil bucket, wrapped it in plastic and mailed it off. Certainly doesn't look as nice as in the pics but functionally it should be fine.

I remember waaay back when a guy that was using one of these hand knurlers for adding grip to some round brass screwdriver thingies. Thanks for the flash back.

WOW! I remember being able to buy it for $0.02 per round. Then it got ridiculous around 5 years ago, maybe $0.15 a round if you could find it. Hope you found it for closer to the $0.02 price.

I still have some Winchester Wildcat with a price tag of 79 cents on it. Right now the price is hovering around .04 for the cheapest stuff.

I used to buy guns and ammo for a living. My biggest day was 2 million rounds of .22LR.
