What Did You Buy Today?

Nice, are those benefitting one of the Youtube people , or just the vendor?

I don’t think that it has anything to do with YouTube. I don’t know if these companies (Monarch et al) are getting compensated for using their logos on the shirts.

I *only* wear shirts with machining and welding logos. I used to buy most of these shirts from machinistlife.com, but this website is defunct at the moment.
 
I bought a bit ago 2 shirts from the guys that made the 6 jaw scroll chuck. The one reminds me of a lunch lady.

Perhaps I am thick Brent, but I do not get the reference....... care to enlighten me?

Thanks,

My new to me Tree Boring Head was first used by Northrop! Instructions are here https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/tree-taper-boring-tool.97243/
Wanted to be sure it works properly - but soon got tired of turning it by hand only to not see anything happen. So, i chucked it in my lathe & let her fly. Makes sense now: At 0.005 advancement per revolution. it takes 400 turns per inch. EDIT: Should have said, 400 turns for a total of 2". I had heard some of the newer ones have a quicker advance. Probably best that it is slow!

Very nice piece.

Math . . . not so much. 1/.005 = 200 :grin:
