Re: Small Tool and Die Shop Liquidation
|
I recently figure that it would cost me about $700 to go visit my brother at his new place in Missouri, and I'm not sure the poor old truck would make there. No way is it going to make it to New York. Though I saw a small benchtop surface grinder on ebay a while back and the seller want $3k for it. That's about half of what I have in my shop, total. Maybe more. And that is nobody's fault but my own!?

For any of you who are not familiar with it, that surface grinder
is probably a Rockwell "Toolmaker" small manual surface grinder
and is probably the best unit for a small shop and occasional
use.? They are great machines and very hard to find!? For someone
who wants one, it is probably well worth a drive to go get it as
the packing and shipping costs are probably prohibitive.? If it
could be loaded on your pickup truck or trailer go for it!? I
looked for one for years and would not part with mine!

I'm reasonably happy, too. It would be a shame to have
spent all these years collecting this stuff and not get to
play with it all. ;)
I have a 3" Indian rotary table that I got several years
ago, and just recently bought one of the Vevor BS-0 clone
universal dividing heads. Might need to find the rotary
table a new home. The dividing head takes up about the same
amount of cubage as the little drill press did...I paid
about $70 including shipping for the rotary table, and it's
quite a bit smaller. It's still unused, so couldn't tell you
how accurate it is, but it feels nice and smooth to me. And
I'm certainly open to trades. :) This is my hobby, not a
business, so no profit motive.
