I went to a garage sale up by Vinny this morning (sorry Vinny) that had a ton of machinists tools and supplies. The prices were high, but he was a motivated seller and accepted a lot less. I went away with a large tap wrench and an Ingersol Rand impact wrench for $30 to replace the shitty Horror Fright one on my power drawbar. The find of the day was a box of 36 REX MM 3/8" tool bits. He wanted $2 a each, but took $15 FOR THE BOX. It also included an additional 9 brazed carbide bits. The REX bits are very old and as near as I can tell, the MM is an early designation for the Mo-Max line. Excellent HSS bits for about 42 cents a piece.
