I have been doing more dumpster diving....here is me new box of booty, saved from the scrapyard. There was a ton of tooling, lathe bits, carbide teeth, chuck teeth, collets...I just grabbed anything I knew I could use or that said "Hardinge" or ""Brown and Sharpe". I even had the guy loading the dumpster "accidentally" dump over a 55 gal barrel that was full of bits. I found a brand new stepper motor, some old Bridgeport handles and some wrenches. Frigging scrap. The Harding collets I pulled out are brand new. I have no use for them and will put them on eBay.
WTF is this giant 10 tooth mutha?
I have another mystery bit as well, it is Brown and Sharpe with a center drill in a collet with a handle? Pics soon.
An entire case of knurling wheels. All brand new in indexed drawers.
Those arbor presses I got are Yuasa #0 little guys.
Frigging scrap. He told me it was worth more because it was all "old metal".
My hands are pretty cut up from finding end mills...... it was better than X-Mas.!
