What Did You Buy Today?

[Buffalo21]

It’s been a rough month so far, bought a new snowblower, the old one blew the auger drive, midst a 12” of global warming, a new transfer case in the 2016 AWD Equinox and finally a new Miller welder, a Miller Maxstar 200 STR.

Bought a new pan and break for up to 14 gauge, new foot stomp shear up to 16 gauge and some new LED high output lights for the shop and garage.

 

[Ulma Doctor]

Ulma Doctor. I saw that and couldn't figure out what I would ever use it for. I got the 8" chuck I posted above from the same auction.

very nice score on the chuck!

i got the bench centers for $37

 

[middle.road]

Milwaukee bridge crane 5 ton. 24’ span, p&h hoist. Going to be one heck of a project to install.

That adds a whole new definition to 'Go BIG or go home!"

I picked up a tiny HF 440# 'winch'. Hopefully going to be able to figure out how to mount it over the mill and lathe with 8.5' ceiling...
Now what do I do with the two 1/2t chain hoists that are sitting in the shed?

I got myself a real turning center. I technically bought it a month ago but it’s all rigged in now. Forcing me to have zero space as I need to sell some machine that were in its spot.

Yes I got that one recently aswell. Came as a package with the one in the background a 4020ht with sidemount changer and chip conveyer. The Mazak also came with a 12 foot bar feeder that doesn’t fit in the shop.

I now own 4 fadals and I need to sell 3 of them. Plan is to keep the nice 4020 and the Mazak.

This must be the Week for 'Go BIG or go home' shop additions...

At the party last night, laying out on a table as 'yard art', was this puppy.

It followed me home. Hostess gave it to me while I was admiring it and examining it for marks and lamenting it's condition.
So in-between Honey-Dos today I tossed it in the tumbler.
Note: This just about exceeds the limit of the 5lb HF tumbler. Need to figure out how to jerry-rig a 5gal bucket to it.


From the sale last week: (I still don't have the truck unloaded.)

I just bought a Bridgeport 815 surface grinder. 1977 model year but looks like it is almost new.

Nice to find one in that good of shape.
