What Did You Buy Today?

Ok so I decided to bid on some stuff at a local auction. There were 2 things I wanted in the bunch, but they bundled some of the lots during the auction, so I wound up with stuff I didn’t, and hopefully will be able to sell some of it. $605 spent after taxes and fees. Here’s my loot.

Meh. This was bundled in with something I wanted. May clean it up and use it.

Meh. I’ll use some of these but holy overkill!

Drill Dr. 750. I’ll use this.

Just the rolling table. Nothing on it.

Angle plate. Hope to sell this probably. Probably too big for my shop.

Ok so I know I’m a tad ridiculous, but this lot was the storage rack, and the contents. Looks like I have some materials to mill and turn.

$605 all in plus whatever I can sell to make some of that back. Fun!
 
Finally, I got to buy some stuff! :big grin:

Found a couple of my favorite Manchester parting tools on ebay. Got 2 new ones for less than the price of one normal price. I already have a spare but these were too cheap to pass up. Plus ya gotta have backups for your backups! ;)

A few indexable tools for my Holdridge radii cutter. Holdridge offers their own indexables but they're about $100ea. Was surprised & happy to find very similar tools by Mesa Tools (cutter on centerline) for 1/3 the price. 4" length, 2 of them will get shortened to 3" & 2" to match the sizes of the stock cutters. A pack of Kennametal inserts for them too.

Speaking of the Holdridge. I've always wanted one but could never afford one. Like many others I made my own radius/ball turner but mine was very simple & limited in capacity. From CL but it was up north in the Bay area. Luckily my lil brother lived close enough to get it for me. Was so cheap I didn't even bother haggling. $200 & it was only missing the allen keys. I think I posted here when I actually scored it but didn't actually have it in my possession yet. Bought it last year & my brother brought it down to me when they visited for Christmas. I didn't want to risk having it get damaged in shipping so I waited patiently until one of us got to visit each other in person.

15/16" x 6" annular cutter. 15/16" is one of my most favorite/most used size & the smallest size I use for annular cutters. Allows me to still bore to 1" which I used to need to do often. I've already got a 4" length one which is long enough for me but I think this one was cheaper than what I paid for my 4" so I couldn't resist. Paid $35 shipped new. They normally cost $160-$180. Seller's got one more available if anyone is interested.

UVEX face shield from the recent Grainger sale that Splat posted, picked it up at my local Grainger. And a generic bag for it from Amazon.

I've been wanting a smaller oil filter pliers cause my Tekton barely works for my truck. Was at HD & saw a small 9" one by Husky. Then I remembered Channellock made similar ones. Sure enough they make the same exact size which I never knew. Got lucky, perfect timing, found one on Amazon Warehouse. Was brand new condition, just the package was opened.

Lenox "carbide" edge utility blades for my new favorite titanium utility blade knife that I also just got. Also picked me up a pack of Husky blades which are actually made in the USA. I'm never buying the Stanley utility blades again. Last pack I had wouldn't fit 3 different utility blade knives I have. I have to grind down the length for them to fit.

Finally bought me some VCI paper for the first time ever. Pretty cheap on ebay. I used to just save scraps when I came across them. I'm in SoCal so rust is really not a problem but better safe than sorry for my measuring tools that I really care about. But I really bought them to protect my Mitutoyos from getting destroyed by the evil black foam that came in their older cases.

Fed up with my cheap’n’nasty(tm) deburring tools - so blunt you could ride bareback to london on them - I decided to drink the YouTube coolaide and get some Noga ones. Platinum set all the way from the US thanks to Amazon marketplace:63449753-D5E0-42D8-9A92-0E538DC8E7D8.jpeg
 
Not sure but what I paid too much, it's one of those things that is nice and I can use on occasion but don't NEED right now. The seller swears it is an ER holder but didn't know the size. So when it gets here (next week?) I'll be filling in the blanks. I have an ER-25 that mounts to MT-3 on the spindle. This allows a through feed for longer work. And mounts solid and likely less runout. We shall see. . .
