Today I acquired...........

[Seadog]

<TYA>

Today I acquired, via Gumtree, some 'lathe tools.'

A Southbend 9" cross slide, an interesting indexing toolpost, which I assume also is Southbend, and a couple of home made toolposts.

Also this

Which I believe is a Myford faceplate.

And this

Whicht I believe is a Dore-Westbury milling attachment.

The man wanted £120. I gave him £140. Why?

Because, also included was

Yes! A Boxford boring table, worth the money alone. No gib strip though and I seem to have lost one of the T-bolts

But wait, it gets better.

The 'very rare' Boxford three-axis milling slide. Oh, deep joy

Nice. Especially the Westbury attachment.

 

[Farside]

Free in a local paper some old car radio bits and a nice speaker and radio housing for one of my old bangers.

Ah; Ameltone.

Are those eight track tapes & a player?

 

[Olderisbetter]

Are those eight track tapes & a player?

Yes untested as of yet but if it works i have a few other 8 track tapes i have never tested.

 

[indy4x]

If that is the case then it is one of two things, you didn't tighten it enough or it is a cheap crap collet/holder. Collet nuts with bearing rings make a huge difference as well.

Happened to me, Vertex so not cheap crap just me being a plonker

In what way?

 

[indy4x]

In what way?

There were no flats on the collet chuck to hold while you tighten the clamping nut and no spindle lock on the mill so it simply wasn't tight enough

Chuck now has 2 flats machined on it so I can hold it with a spanner while tightening the clamping nut

So not really a fault of the ER system.
I have never had a cutter pull out of an ER collet yet and I take some serious cuts at times.
I am not knocking the Clarkson style, they are good for threaded HSS cutters but that seriously limits their use.

 

[indy4x]

Defo not a fault of the ER system and as per my post, me being a poker and not making sure it was tight enough

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This year poppy for Mrs TYA,
Silver,with Gem stones, well Dress Gem stones, So not diamonds, I hope they are not.
Dated for 1938 and hall marked as English silver.

 

[Chillitt]

The new plasma cutter arrived nice and early, but it seems to be cutting in Portuguese.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Mrs TYA got something, Mini Me got something.



Again Silver, but 1972, Hallmark confirms.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

For Mr TYA.
This I have already posted.




This as well, was in Screw fix clearance bin. The sanding drums were not.

Course, medium and fine wire wool.
Dark oak wood stain.
10 x cup hooks.



2 more hammers.
A new to me second hand shop.
@slim_boy_fat I told you I have plans.



Stanley Hand drill, damaged. But a fast gear model.



Brace and Bit hole saw, sharp. It drew blood.

Not including the sweet stuff for Mrs TYA and Mini Me.
Or the drum sander, that was £10.99. Still nifted that it was cheaper to buy a kit. Not new sanding sleeves.

£15

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Good news.
I have got my winter "Keep me out of Mrs TYA hair" projects.

Plus a few silly bits.


Here are the silly bits.



Alloy taper thread tap, good for the tank I got 3 years ago to hold waste fuel.




Archimedes drill, I did get a few small spade bits as well.




Cranked handle adjustable wrench. All working, bit of surface rust.
How ever I can not look at this without thinking and laughing at what my friend call it.
"Oh it looks like a sperm, is it called a sperm spanner"
English is not her first language.

Now the 2 items hat I plan to have fun is restoring.



I hand cranked pump, it has a name on it. But I have not looked into the history, as of yet.




Stanley 3/8" bench mounted hand powered drill.
Nothing moves on it.

So I am going to be busy.
