There is a vertical mill in the SF bay area craigslist that might be a steal, or might not. Title "Jet Milling Machine"

It boasts a Mitutoyo DRO, rotary table and indexing head, for under $1500. The catch? No pictures and its' listed as a Jet 1/2v . I don't know what that is.

The accessories might be worth the price. The DRO by itself is rather expensive.

That sounds like a great deal (if it's in good condition). The mill + DRO will normally sell for $2500 or more, plus the rotary table & indexing head. $1500 is a good price.

Not sure if you guys have OSH Hardware stores near you but they are having a 25% off sale this weekend for anything that is Craftsman. Supposed to be Sat & Sun only but the lady honored the discount for me today.

Aside from that this month is Craftsman Club month so you might want to check that first if you plan on buying anything (that is if you are a club member) as it might be cheaper. I just picked up a new workbench to put my lathe on & saved $100 with Craftsman club & bought some accessories for it today at OSH with the 25% off.

Right now there is a seller on Ebay selling a GREAT dial indicator:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120436408988&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

INTERAPID DIAL TEST INDICATOR

MODEL: 312B-1

GRADUATION: .0005"

RANGE: .060"

FACE DIA: 1.5"


Buy it now price of $55. Although there is no box, from the photos it looks in reasonably good shape

I would buy it myself, but I already have a similar Best Test (also swiss), so I don't need a second one.

For those of you that use boring bars (or holders) with CCMT 1/4" IC inserts, I just got an unbeatable deal on ebay on inserts for use with aluminum.

I won a bid for 30 Valenite CCGT 21.51-1L VP7615 inserts for $45 plus shipping new sealed in packages. That's $1.50 per insert! Carbide Depot sells the same insert for $11.71 ea sold in packs of 10.

These aren't the beautiful polished inserts but rather for higher temp & have been working great in my boring bars. Haven't tried them on any other metals yet though.

C3 TiAlN/TiN

VP7615: Fine grain substrate. Primary application: Finishing and semi-finishing of aluminum and non-ferrous materials, continuous cuts. Secondary application: Finishing and semi-finishing of high temperature alloys, continuous cuts. Gold, application ValTurn.

Looks like the seller has plenty of these. He put up a Buy It Now for the same price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400056821350&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&salenotsupported

Seller shipped the very next day & also notified me of shipping. Any ebay seller that ships promptly, notifies me of shipping & leaves me positive feedback before I receive the item is a great seller in my book.

More info at Carbide Depot.

BIG shaper vise on St Louis Craigslist

Looks like a steal for $50, but I don't need it ... located about half way between St Louis & Columbia, in Hawk Point, MO. About 10 miles west of Troy.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/tls/1306119153.html

I'd guess the weight at something over 100#.

Favor to ask from anyone that receives enco's emails for specials (webcodes). I've signed up for them numerous times and have never gotten the first one. I finally contacted the webmaster and he/she said they've added me to the list. Though, I heard the same thing from a salesman when I called about shipping of a placed order and never started getting the specials. So, I'm just looking for a post from someone that gets them regularly, letting me know when the next offer goes out. Hopefully, I'll know because I got it as well. I hope this falls under the "rules/guidelines" for this thread. It seemed like the most appropriate place to post it.

I too had this issue. I never received them at first until I placed my first order, from then on I noticed I started to received them. Not sure if it was a coincidence or not but I'd say it was about two months after I signed up.
