The fellow that gave me the vice called and asked if I wanted a piece of steel plate he found in the basement. It was about 12" x 12" by 1". Not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it but ...

Arvid, that guy deserves a bottle of something decent to crack open when he's unloaded at the new home....

And yes, several Lovelaces of suckage!

3 phase 415v 50hz in, 3 phase 415v 0-200hz out. Going to plug this into my RPC and give the lathe the volts it's been begging for.

Not brand new (who can afford that?) but appears to be in pretty good nick. Just been turning some 4140 and the lathe really labours with a .020 cut, can't even spin the big 4-jaw chuck up to speed in top gear. 415v 3-phase motor doesn't seem to be satisfied with 240v 3-phase for some reason.
Down side is that the RPC is pretty noisy, now I'll have to listen to it when using the lathe as well as the mill. I can see the idler motor being banished outside when I can find enough 4-core cable at the right price.

Resawed some 6x6 timbers for a friend of a friend a while back. Said he had a small bandsaw, did I want it. Sure, thought I could add a gear reducer and make a metal cutting saw out of it.
Well he dropped it off today before I was out of bed.

Its already got the gearbox built in, There is a rod you rotate to engage the gearing  for metal cutting.
Now anther restoration to do.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
