Perfect to use on your lathe tool post to set precise angles When you don’t have a reference piece to indicate off of.

I am glad you guys were sleeping and missed this one. I got this for 10 bucks on E-bay. M42 cobalt USA made new in the tube.

Picked up this 20' culvert (never used) off FBMP for a $100, which will be going in behind the shop in an area that is being temporarily drained by a ditch. Was gifted this Delta classic DP220 drill press from a friend. Needs a little tlc, but still tight. He also gave me a 3/4 drive, 300 lbft torque wrench, which he used once. Mike

I love old drill presses. I have a few and they are very satisfying to use and have in the shop. That Delta will clean up to as good as new if you want it to!

Picked this up yesterday at an antique shop for $7 bucks. It had some thick dark oil in it. Cleaned it out with WD40, seems to work good.

Doing my usual scan of the local CL my virtual vulture sense was triggered by this. A flat file has been on my wish list for several years with scarcity, size and $$ being the limiting factors. The tumblers fell into place with this one. Bit of a drive but worth it.
