Thread: eBay (and other auctions) Metalwork Stuff

The CVA that I mentioned in post 182 went for $509 to an A.T. of Picton WA ( Anorak Taylor?)
A bargain really as even as mixed CI scrap metal because of the weight it's worth around $350.

Poorly described but could be useful to someone.

I'm in Brisbane until Saturday and am able to help someone out if they need assistance.

That could well end up being the buy of the year. Too bad many of these things pop up when I am focusing on other things. Just like the spate of sub $500 surface grinders lately.

The Jones and Shipman 540 surface grinder at that same auction went for $409. http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0023-...er-model-63845

LOL I thought it was a typo when it was originally listed for $2000... Now it is back at $1500.....

$15 would be a more appropriate starting price...

.RC. Your behind the times, the dual driven, hand and pedal, ones have always been expensive, so it's a bargain at that price. Think of the power savings

You obviously havent had or have a chinese made mill.....as they usually come with stuffed bearings, rust, faulty capacitors and many other defects thrown in to add to the authenticity of buying a new secondhand item

I seem to recall a similar machine in Brisbane on ebay a few years ago for the same money.

Unlike my previous contribution to this thread I don't think you'll need to trip over yourself getting there.

For anyone wanting a decent welder this might be worth a look.

I remember it as well. Was considering it at the time but after discovering very few were made and parts not available anywhere, changed my mind.

They are supposed to be a very good lathe though.

Thanks for the heads up Michael. Can anyone tell me if this type of vice is suitable for general use on a pedestal drill?

I have a Record 4" drill press vice, but the moveable jaw is very sloppy and kicks up when it's tightened. I would like a vice with jaws that remain parallel.

Chris

Hi Chris,
I'd say that vice is a little over the top for use on a pedestal drill, but then there are pedestal drills and then there are Pedestal Drills. I certainly wouldnt let that stop me buying it if I needed it and the price was right. One thing though, depending on the type of work you do, they are slow to adjust.
Do you have a picture of your vice? maybe someone has a "fix" for them.

So many pretties, luckly most of the bits and pieces have gone out of my "I can get that past her without to much eye rolling" price range lol. I think I may have to stop looking at this thread.
