I picked this indicator up. It’s a lufkin v60 made by Compac. Didn’t pay much for it. Problem is the stylist is bent and the ball end is nonexistent. Can I get a replacement for it?

I bought some Irwin 3/8" ratchet head to tap adapters. I just found out these existed! I also bought a couple more spiral flute taps.

I did not know those existed. I will be using that when I build my manual tap machine!

I just tried them out today. They work like a charm! I set up the clutch on the drill and now I tap worry free.

Nice find, they do work very well.

By the way, it looks like a pretty nice score. Way to go!

Picked up a 2"x6"x36" piece of 7075 T7 aluminum and some rather large end mills. Also picked up an r8 1" end mill holder. All 5 end mills in very good condition and 55 lbs of 7075 for $134. I love the yard!
Btw the 7075 is for motorcycle tripleclamps.

The Yard in Wichita is a great place to go to pick up tooling and Aluminum. I go there a couple of times a year.
