So the nieghbor comes over today with this box.says he was down to his brothers house and picked up some tooling for me. They are both retired toolmakers from GM. He says there is at least 10 times that if I want it. The brother lives on his boat in ludington and has no machines,so has no use for it! All new,not resharpened,mostly carbide.Has to wiegh50 lbs.He has a couple more chucks too,ones a 3/4 x r2. He said that boy is about4" in dia.I told him we should go pick it up,tomorrow!

edit) Damn!!! now Ive got to go buy some cabinets to put it all in!

Great score

Great score, its almost like a tax return bonus via union profit sharing from a failing corporation with government bailout. Or something like that. That chuck does not look like its seen any action at all.

That is an awesome score! Congrats!
It pays to be nice to the neighbors! Well most of them anyway.

oh, they must be smaller bits than I thought then, if a little mill will turn them. It's kinda hard to tell from the picture but I thought they looked bigger. In any case they are a great deal for free!

Better take that man atleast a case of beer and order him a couple of pizzas.

Nice neighbors are a very good thing. If there is too much for you, I might just be able to supply some beer and pizza for some of the extras. LOL
