Another auction score, big one.

[woodtickgreg]

I purchased a whole pallet of stuff at an auction. I gave $100 for this pallet. I didn't know what half the stuff was on it. I saw a few machinist vises and some "c" clamps and that was enough for me to bid on. What I ended up getting was way more than what I thought was there. I'm still sorting through it, but here's some of the stuff so far.
I got a couple of these shoe coolers stands, I don't need or want them. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but kinda cool.

Old school wood workers vice, the bench is used as one jaw, I'll clean this up and probably sell it. I have 2 vises already.

Anybody know what these green castings are? I have no clue or if they are even worth anything.

A bunch of town hooks off of a Ford somethimg.

These are seriously stout! I will be selling these on ebay to recoup my cost of the pallet.

Lots more coming, lol. I haven't even got to the good stuff yet.

These where an extra, gave $15 for them, I works, one new in box, and one will be converted to led. I'll do a thread on that when I do it. I needed these lights in the metal shop.

These are some of the things I was after. Nice little machinist vises that will clean up nicely.

They aren't as rusty as they look.


A box of vintage bicycle parts. I already sold this for $30.

A mitutoyo 4" to 5" snap gauze. The indicator is frozen but can be replaced easy or repaired. I don't need this so I will be selling it.

And there's more.

 

[woodtickgreg]

This vise is another item that was on the pallet that I was after. Serious machinist vice, very heavy and solid, will clean up well. Just dirty. I will need to make some new jaws for it but that's not a big deal. The bottom plate will be removed from it, this was used in some kind of a fixture.

Very unusual jaws, I wonder what it was used for.

So far I can't find any name or makers marks on it, maybe when I clean it up.

Most of the coloring on it is grease and dirt.

This vise was needed for the new mill.

And you guys here helped me identify this very cool old vintage apple peeler that I will refurbish. Apparently this is an original and worth some money.

There's more.

Cool stuff Greg.

 

[woodtickgreg]

This is a mitutoyo digital x you axis read out. I don't know if it works or not but if it does I might be able to use it on the mill. I would need to get the pickups for it which I don't think would be a big deal. I may take it to a repair shop and see if it is worth messing with.

This is a vintage Bending surface roughness tester for the machining industry. I don't know if it works or really know anything about it, just kinda cool. It has all the calibrating samples and paperwork certifications. Made right here in Ann Arbor Michigan. I'm going to try and sell this. It might be worth something to somebody.

There's more.

 

[woodtickgreg]

A vintage 2 head buffer polisher with a box of lambs wool pads for it. This will go on craigslist too.

A cord keeper and a new bunjie.

3 harbor freight mini hammers, brand new, tossed one in the truck tool box.

This is some kind of flow sight gage. It's about 3 inches in diameter, heavy machined stainless steel and glass. I think I'll make some kind of a lamp/night light out of it. Just because it's different.

A couple of brand new mower belt pulleys, they will go on craigslist list.

A bunch of fuse holders, for craigslist.

A bunch of knows and handles from a cabinet makers shop

More knows, shelf pins, shop made handle drilling jigs, staples for a pneumatic stapler, etc. I guess I could use a stapler, might have to buy one now.

There's more.

Dang Greg, awesome score!!!!!

 

[woodtickgreg]

2 pieces of brand new no. 40 chain. Going on craigslist.

New package of grinding stones and a stout c clamp.

There are several boxes of these blades. I do knot know what they fit. They where in the box of cabinet makers stuff. If i can find out what they are for I will sell them as well.

More blades, a few different sizes.

And I have several boxes of these. Look like hypo needles, different sizes by gage. I don't know what these are for either. Again, in the cabinet makers stuff.

A pack of brand new gloves, a new gun lock which I will sell, and a brass decorative thingy that went on the wood lathe weight box for some being, lol

Auger drills will clean up. Wrenches where crap and got pitched.

About half the cost clamps where good, the sprung ones got donated to work for the guys to cut up and make fixtures for welding with.

I still have more boxes to go through.
More comimg.

As close as I can tell, those blades are $39. Still can't figure out exactly what they go on though.

Thanks Tony, wish I knew what they are for or what they fit.

 

[Tony]

Think I found it Greg. They go on production cutter heads, like a shaper bit.

 

[Mike Mills]

The blades may be for a planer. I have some smaller ones (12mm sq) and the print and made in Germany looks almost the same.
They may be expensive each or not. If you scoll down to near the bottom they have the 50mm L for about $4 in carbide.

Looks like you got some good stuff.

 

[woodtickgreg]

I wonder what it would be used for? In a shaper? To do what? But it is interesting.

 

[woodtickgreg]

I found this in the info that mike sent. I'm thinking that the box of stuff these blades where in was from a cabinet maker. Maybe it was used for cutting rabbits or something. Dunno.

 

[gman2431]

Tony is correct that they are for insert cutters we use them all the time at work. They could fit various things like v groovers etc.

 

[woodtickgreg]

I guess I'll gather them up, see what I have, and sell them as a lot. They are of no use to me but probably are to someone.

 

[NYWoodturner]

That was one hell of a score Greg

 

[Don Ratcliff]

I found a part number and looked it up, the green cast part is a thrust bearing housing.

$212???? Nice Greg!!

 

[David Van Asperen]

@woodtickgreg I could use those braces and those wrenches you threw away. You could use those shoe coolers for legs on some project sofa etc .
Great score
