Auction

[buckbrush]

Did anyone “win” anything at the auction in Calgary today? Mcdougall auctioneer’s, sale of Hunterwood technologies?

John and I heard about it and the great deals, but we didn't look at it. I've got too much stuff already (Sacrilege! I know)

 

[buckbrush]

There was lots of steel drops for cheap.

 

[buckbrush]

I probably got 3000 lbs of drops of steel for $340 +15% buyer’s premium. 50 or so cat 40 tool holders, boring heads, facing heads …

 

[crittermutt]

So you're the one that out bid me.

 

[buckbrush]

I don’t think I even bought 1/4 of it.

 

[crittermutt]

I stopped bidding early because I decided I was to lazy to drive from Sherwood park to Calgary to pick It up.

 

[buckbrush]

Well there are a lot more auctions where you are anyways.

I think there were some decent deals.

I snagged a lot of “miscellaneous“ items for $65 + 20% (fees + tax).

It included a steel trolley cart, with a railway spike hammer, a sledge hammer, a good sized ball peen hammer, life time supply of anti-seize & tapping fluid…

Also included were a GS NMTB40 precision keyless drill chuck and a 3.0” Taegutec facemill on a Valentine NMTB40 tool holder (these are for my Deckel FP3L milling machine).




Judging by the SOWA catalogue, my $78 all in for the lot was a good price…

I bid on that for a while, the railway spike hammer is called a double jack. Are your 40 taper tools Nmtb or cat 40?

 

[RobinHood]

They are NMTB 40 tool holders.

I have three different drawbars for the Deckel mill: a Deckel (OEM threaded one), a Metric and an SAE one. That opens up a lot possibilities as far as used tooling is concerned.

I believe CAT 40 tooling also works - just need a special pull stud. I don’t have any (yet).

 

[buckbrush]

I bought about 45 size 40 holders ,boring heads ,face mills, some are cat 40, some are Nmtb.

I heard about this auction while out in Calgary . I was considering loading up the son's house with junk as I'm out of space at home .

 

[buckbrush]

Ya I know that feeling. Machine shop auctions are pretty rare in Calgary, and prices were reasonable. The Auctioneers were very disapointed on the prices, especially on the machine tools.

Jezzus Murphy. Such a simple solution to a problem that is so common. I can't begin to list all the stuff I have had to return cuz it had the wrong drawbar thread. I still prefer to stick with the BP drawbar, but your solution is so KISS. I love it Rudy. There are a few more drawbars in my future!

That Deckel of yours is the long bed model. Very hard to find and very expensive.
