Today's haul took a while, the firebricks had had pallets and junk thrown on top, but I still spotted 'em!
There are mostly enough 2" insulating 1400C firebrick offcuts for a new casting furnace, I think (the last one failed to move with me...), eight 6"diameter x 6" steel rounds plus some smaller drops, a VERY rusty lapping plate and some more small steel and ally drops, a couple of machine lights (condition unknown) and most of the parts of a grinder dust-hood, and finally a nice dual power supply (0-30v 2A) with one side working to take readings from while I fix the other (completely independent) side :)
One of the 6"rounds is destined to become one or two D1-5 spindle nose replicas to drop on my rotary table to speed up fitting / centring chucks, I hope!
I think we have a contender for the biggest
of the month!
