I should be above this kind of thing, but I'll admit I'm looking forward to getting it on the road and looking down on shiny brodozers.

I'm not that petty. Just knowing they will be going home to find even bigger tires for their ridiculous pavement crawler will satisfy me.

That's what that are! Thanks!
I know a friend who's getting a cool Christmas present. Made in West Germany even.
Went to a local estate sale of a wood and metal tool horder. I bought a few things. Phase II swivel angle plate (6"x8"), AMT tramming device, drill press vise, file, level. Can anyone identify the vise logo? I can't make it out. The amount of tool stuff in this house was beyond belief.

This guy was a true tool horder. Tools were everywhere, much if it appearing brand new. He had a really nice Bridgeport and two other milling machines plus a big Enco lathe in the basement. The young guy I talked to bought the Bridgeport, the Enco and a bunch of tooling for $12k. They were not giving stuff away but prices werent too bad. There was so much stuff you couldn't even organize anything. They will be doing another sale in January.

I ordered a face plate for my lathe from HGR...
For some reason, HGR doesn't really give a good description, so this plate was a gamble. The ad just stated that it fit a threaded spindle... no info at all on what the thread was...
I figured for $39 plus shipping, if it doesn't fit, maybe I can bore it and re-thread it and make it work.
My spindle is a 2 3/8 x 6 tpi...
It fit! Without needing to be modified!
Just luck, I guess...
