What Did You Buy Today?

[WobblyHand]

6061 8" diameter plate for my rotary table came in today. Was quicker than usual delivery by the USPS. Also received some 1x1 6061, you know, to stuff in the box and make the shipping worthwhile. Also pictured are the tee-nuts that I had previously made. I rust blued them today. Came out well for a first try. Not showcase or presentation quality, but pretty darned good for the hour effort put into it.

Well it's not a tool. But I bought it today. What will I do with it? Oh boy, I'm not sure. But I bought it. I was thinking grinder stand...Or I could put my mill/drill on it. Decisions, decisions.

I get the "I suck" award today. actually bought it last weekend, picked it up today. 5 franklins. No threading gear, so if anyone could help me there in some way, I'd appreciate it. And yes, the leveling is temporary, lol.

I picked this up at a garage sale yesterday for cheap so took a chance.






I had a scrap piece of 16 ga steel from a control cabinet that I carefully tried it on. It glided right through with no effort and ran fine.
I don't know how old it is but I found this catalog from 1939.




I am very happy

I picked up this Tapmatic I/2" piece on ebay. Came with out collets. Was wondering if anyone else has the same unit, and if it uses er 20 collets, and which sizes you need for taps? Thanks, Mike

Received a P4 blade today along with a loaner 3/4" threading bar. These are for my backplate project. Thank you @mmcmdl !!!!!


Too bad one of the threading gear shafts broke on my G0752Z/G0602 lathe The funky square headed one with the ball oiler. Part is already on order. I'll be back in business within a week.
