What Did You Buy Today?

[Dave Smith]

I brought my $1 auction purchase home today along with two nice 20" HSS resharpened paper cutter blades for $5.
I made out like a bandit cause the dollar item is a super heavy duty floor model electric and hyd hollow drill machine. I tried it out on 1/4" thick 50 gal plasiic barrel lid with a 1/4" hollow bit---it made three perfect holes very easy. I figure it would also work good on uhmw and maybe rubber. I know it was made for drilling paper but machines always have good other uses for creative minds. it came with 6 sharp hollow bits in several sizes and two carbide bit sharpeners. I know I can easily use the hydraulics for other projects by putting a couple quick disconnects and hyd hoses on the unit.---my head is spinning now with all the capabilities!!!
and it only cost a dollar. I need to find out the spindle taper so I can make more gadgets for it besides the drill bits--for sure I can make adapters for some of my small drill chucks. for those interested it is a century paper drill machine.

that's because you live in Nebraska, it gets cold there.

Only in the winter!

OK ----here's the pictures to prove it happened, enjoy---and I got 7 extra bits besides the one in machine. it is a Chalenger instead of century.

For those that have never been where you can go for a walk in fresh snow, on a calm, sunny, 25°F day: it is warm enough for just a sweat shirt, sparkling clean snow that muffles all the noise. It doesn't get any better. A walk at night with a full moon makes it almost as bright as day. It's magic, skip the crowds. (Also skip the nights when it is zero and the wind is howling across the plains! That's when you curl up by the fire with a hot spiced wine.)

?? Just click on the first one and it pops to large size, then click on the > arrow to step through all or click on the thumb nails at the bottom of the screen. ???
