Today I acquired...........

[MBB]

It looked a good one didn't see much tooling on show, but that's just time n money to sourse.....

Didn't you get the rotory converter included?

No I didn't ask about it, I'm not a fan of rotary or auto transformer converters would rather have an inverter or may even wire it for 240 v 3 ph delta and run it of a capacitor, very simple and very cheap.

7 morse taper shank drills, 14 to 21.8 (metric), seem fairly randomn sizes? Perhaps for tapping? And 5 x 19mm shank imperial drills, 3x 3/4" a 23/32 and a 11/16. The 19mm shank drills won't even fit in my mandarin. Doh!
The drill far right has a flat end to it. I assume its not a reamer? Broken? Why?

Today I acquired;

Brass, mild steel and EN24. I also acquired a friend at a local machine shop who was more than happy to give me that lot for free (I did offer ££). He was just happy that a young person was interested in engineering and said "If you learn from it we'll all benefit from it", quite a compliment.

 

[Barking Mat]

That's nice to hear.

Poor mans counterbore...

Ground to provide a square bottom to the hole. Maybe in lieu of a counterbore. Are the cutting lips ground?

Good question.I don't know if they're ground? Photo.
