denny411 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Tomorrow morning I`m going with a friend to pick up a bridgport mill, surface grinder,drill press, disc/belt sander, and a few other misc things. Combined with the tool collection that I already have, I should be able to fab up almost anything. The only thing I really need now is a metal lathe.

denny411 Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 Well, we got the stuff moved today. I called in a favor from another friend with a front end loader. He came over and we loade and unloaded everything inless than an hour. What I got was... 1)bridgport mill with all the attachments and clamps 2)surface grinder with several extra stones 3) drill press 4)band saw with extra blades 5)several machinists hand books and tool catalogs 6)bench grinder with diamond cutting disc and grinding wheel 7)granite surface plate 8)several different sizes of micrometers and dial indicators, along with the magnetic base There is still more, but we didn`t have time to get it all today. He is making a little trek around the country on business and has to leave early tommorow morning. BTW... I did buy him breakfast this morning, and put pads and rotors on his car last night (he bought the parts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
