What Did You Buy Today?

[JTSlocomb]

Tired of trying to make drills work with hand-lapping, though that still works in a pinch.

And my precision ground flat stones are kind of chewed up. And they are too small. Time for a new set.

Plus some bits and pieces—a Starrett edge finder, a carbide-tipped scriber, a Starrett 6” hook rule.

I have three of this style of sharpeners for different sizes. I was skeptical at first of the quality, but they turned out to be a great investment. I used them daily.

Ford has these too?!?
Only ever seen them on my Chevys...

The check engine lights in my Chevys must be defective. They never light up. Lol

With a GM product that's a definite possibility! . Lol

(Just starting to make room my '37 Dodge and '57 Chevy projects. So equal opportunity all the ways around... )

Bought this today, going to take quite a bit of work but I think it’ll be worth it!

My 67 ford doesn't even have one.... Had a fellow once asked me what happens when it quits making noise and I told him "I get out and work on it".

Does that have power feeds on all axes?!!

It does - one 1.5hp (i think) for the X and Y through a gear selector and one 1hp for the knee. Spindle is 5hp. 5000lb weight. Going to be a bit beefier than my Grizzly 6x26

Ebay got me again. They are all regrinds but for the price and USA made who cares. All the ones on the left are 1 inchers.

It was time to restock the hardware store.







It seems like a vast sum, especially compared to the last time I stocked at this level, until I walk into Ace Hardware and buy a small handful of fasteners and it’s a hundred bucks. At least I know where these came from.
