A new project.
Won't take delivery for another week or two as it's currently in the care of the transporter, and I'm in no rush for it to be delivered as it's been a bit of an impulse acquisition and I've got other things to get done before looking at it, however it's got a 80'000rpm spindle, a granite base, and a 4th axis.

Please tell me its to power a large potato cannon?A MIC stirrup pump, allegedly rated to 6000 Chinese PSI!
Blanked off it held 3000 (indicated) for 30mins which is what I need, so that will do.
Not bad construction and finish to be fair.

I acquired these with a few other bits, I took a punt on them being the mother of all surface/scribing gauges in truth I don’t really know how/what they’d be used for. Would they be set off some gauge blocks or a height master micrometer thing? One is called a verdict ‘verifirm’ they aren’t kidding at two foot tall it’s practically a lethal weapon!

Can probably be used to check squareness.
You would set an indicator off a mitutoyo height master or master length standard.
Not always. The surgeon who re attached my right distal tendon to my forearm showed me some of his work tools. He had two cordless drills, one was a Makita. The other was specific to surgery work and had a stainless body, could be placed in the autoclave without the battery. The Makita was more interesting, it had a gearbox of some sort encased in stainless, obv fitted where the chuck would be. It also had a shroud that covered everything but the gearbox/drive part, a sort of bag.

There obviously for doing something carefully, I can’t see any other reason for them being so over built.
They don’t adjust quite how I expected, I thought the knob would move the back of the base up and down like a surface gauge but it actually moves the column itself up and down. Well out of my league whatever they’re for!
Edit: I’ve just read that again that isn’t quite how a surface gauge works but you get the idea. (I’m cleaning the bathroom cut me some slack!)
Bench tested it today prior to fitting it next weekend and I'm impressed with it.
With the fan at full chat it almost lifts the whole unit off the bench so that should be an end to a van filled with odours of cooking and flatulence...

Three pieces of nice plywood, only need one for the new workbench top, but the price was just too good!

And a roll of glass fibre to fit in the garage loft as there isn't any!

Got given a couple of pine shelving units from Ikea early 90s so I butchered one for my under bench storage unit, just need a load of ikea boxes now.
One of those.
Mine is currently with LandyLift, as the seller wanted them gone due to an impending house move, so LandyLift popped across and collected it yesterday since he was free, which is good service considering I only contacted him for a rough price at the start of the week, and he only got the full details on Thursday.
Just need to arrange the logistics of getting it North, and figuring out where I'm going to put it, as workshop space is somewhat tight since the CNC Router got wedged in...
