What Did You Buy Today?

Ditto on The Wixey, A great little unit couldn't do without it now.
 
Just got this from my Dad. Bought it years ago at an auction. It needs some work but the motor works. Someone screwed up the table so I'm going to bring it to someone with a larger mill to have it resurfaced.

Yeah they really ran that poor little Stone deep into the table! I need to get a small mag chuck for it though.

A trip to the tool/flea market, first thing i found was this hand winch, it's very slow but it's all steel and looks to be strong its was only 5$. Next was a 13mm and 10mm wrench and a long set of feeler gauges 6$ for both. Then i bought me this cheap china kitchen scale i've been needing one for measuring refrigerant oil it was 3$. The big buy of the day come next, i bought me one more impact set of sockets i already have the same set and they have hold up very well so i bought this one for the small garage also the price was right 30$. Not a bad trip, i miss going to the tool/ flea market.

Holy cow. I didn't know they allowed blind machinists to work in the trade.
Don't you just wonder what went on there??
You're gonna mill it?
That will get you in the .001-.003" range if you get lucky. You plan on scraping the rest?
I'm not trying to be a smart $%^& or anything, I'm curious of your plan.
Not an easy task.

I'm going to have a friend mill it on his Bridgeport my Grizzly G0704 isn't big enough to do it. Then I plan on buying the appropriate sized mag chuck, put a dial indicator on the face of the mag chuck and shim it as close to flat as I can (side to side and front to back) then get a new stone and surface the mag chuck.
