What Did You Buy Today?

[Janderso]

I bought the 865M. 6.5" jaws. This is the Mechanics series. These are around $435 and up.
Amazon had one shipped from Wilton for $389 Prime.
We have a few of these at work. They are sweet.
Did I really need it? No. But I couldn't pass up the deal.
With the thrust washers, the sealed acme screw and the rigidity, quality jaws etc......
Gives me another project-soft jaws

These are Mechanic's Pro, made in China to Wilton specifications. The fit and finish is very good. I know the Tradesman runs several hundred more and is made in the USA.
For a hobby guy, this is gonna have to do.

If I had a Nickel...

So what you are saying is if we pay a nickel.....then we can?

How much did that set you back? I was looking at the M18 version but not sure about the battery.

I'm up in Canada but a regional tool supply company had it on sale for $349CAD so I used the price guarantee at Home depot to get it there vs their regular price of $429

I have some up coming projects where I need 3/4" square holes. So I bit the bullet.

I'm guessing that's going take a LARGE arbor press!

I have the HF version and love it. It saves so much time and sweat. I quickly bought the Swag table for it.

I used it recently to cut 2-1/2" thick mild steel. I can't imagine doing this by hand.

That is one of them tools that are so handy you will wonder how you did with out it ,I have the M18 cordless deep cut and the small little M12 band saw both are super handy I use them all the time !!!

Well as my girlfriend would say I have a problem because I took a trip this morning while she was out of town and I came home with this lol
A sterling drill bit grinder that’s in really good shape and the price was right !!!! I also made a deal on a DoAll surface grinder that the guy had there also !!! But that will be next month when I have time to go back and get it

So after getting the drill grinder unloaded I checked the mail and I have one more goodie .
I got it off eBay super cheap and it’s all there and has smooth travels,I think I was the only one that bid on it
