New(to me) tools

[gimpyrobb]

I have been looking for a mill for a while. I even bid on some on GL. I saw this one and decided to pull the trigger. I picked up this Gorton 0-16a knee mill. It has an adapter to run r-8 collets and came with a bunch, but I'll still be looking for the Gorton collets($$$). Can't wait to bring her home this weekend.

Looks good, I was picturing something a lil different. There is a guy that deals in used machines and tools. Ill give him a call and see if he has any.

Probably ruin a LOT of steel!

 

[Danger Ranger]

You gonna load that with a knuckleboom???

 

[gimpyrobb]

Nope, no K-boom yet.

Yellow and blue, looks like it came from Kenny's place!

 

[Ripcord01]

Sure, I've had (have) yellow trucks and I've had blue trucks but no yellow and blue trucks. BTW, some real nice gentleman dropped off a new K-Boom the other day. I'm trying to get it mounted on my deuce before he decides he wants it back.

Not unless I told you about it today! Just saw it last night and spoke to the guy this morning. It was 2hrs away in Louisville.

It would look good with 395's on it but might get a little top heavy.

 

[cajun666]

Nice

What kind of rare parts are we making now? I have a friend that made his own 5 ton winch parts....

 

[gimpyrobb]

Dunno yet. It took me about a year before I started using the lathe I bought. Usually I read a lot and don't much use the tool till I need sumptin made. It took me almost a year to fix my plasma cutter after the torch head burnt out. Its real nice using it now though! My tool fetish is pretty big.

 

[Recovry4x4]

You should be tried and convicted of grand theft if you bought that for what we spoke about.

 

[gimpyrobb]

$500

I've got the shop, one of these days I'll have some tools like that to put in it.

When I build the new shop I can bring my lathe home
