I was there today, and I saw quite a number of large machine tools.
One guy was buying a Rockwell band saw for 񘋰. He said it didn't have
the built in welder like the new ones, but was a ผk value. There was
another one there just like it.
There were Cincinnati and other brand milling machines with 8 foot beds
for ū,000 to บ,000 all with digital readout and oil injection. For
บk it was horizontal / vertical.
There was a Gorton tracer with an 8 foot bed for ūk.
There were 6'? Peerless double table band saws for Ū,500.
There was some giant old weird band saw ~ū,000.
I was in love with an old disc grinder for 踰.
There were other disc grinders, but they were too new looking.
We got a 20 pound 6 inch high riser that was ground for dialing in a a
Cincinnati mill head. We got it for 25 cents/ pound.
We got some new drills with #2 Morse tapers that were new with the
protector on the tip for ū/ pound. The 31/32" is just right to start
for a 1" reamed hole.
All the lathe bits with carbide welded in tips were chipped, so I got
cobalt and HSS.
I saw a guy get a huge bench vice for ุ, but it was the only one, and
he found it in an incoming tub. There was another one with a bench for
๛, but it was not as good.
I got carried away and bought these aluminum pieces 6x1.2x.35". I got
฿ worth at ũ.60 per pound. They looked perfect as parallel bars, but
at home, I found .005" of run out. I am now looking for uses. I know
what I am giving for Christmas.
I think Boeing is shutting down shop capacity. I have never before seen
any big machines at Boeing Surplus.
