Went to an all-timer estate sale in the little town of West Columbia, TX. Ended up with the following:
Kurt 688 machinist vise - $60
Darex Drill Bit Sharpener - $50
Aloris BXA tool post and 7 holders - $80
Starrett 797 digital caliper - $18
TECO FM100 VFD - $80
Assortment of import and Federal dial indicators - $4 each
Kurt D6 swivel base - $28
I got screwed out of another Darex sharpener. The deal was that they had two part tags on some of the bigger items. You were supposed to tear off the bottom tag and when you were finished with your shopping, you take the tags to the check out, pay and then the workers will load you up. I tore the bottom tag off the other Darex, but some a-hole tore off the whole tag and took the machine up to the check out and told the cashier that there was no tag on there!! So they sold it to him and he left. I got the last laugh though as they put all the tool holders in a plastic bag. So I ended up with the tool holders for both machines. So F that prick.
