Looks nice!

Picked this oddball up today at a bin store, new in a torn package, for $1.
From Lobster Tools (?) in Japan.
Opens to 1 7/8", or 47.6 mm.

I have been slowly working on building a cutter grinder for sharpening endmills. It will sharpen the ends and the flutes. The spindle rides on an air bearing that has nearly zero friction. I need to add stops to adjust the tilt angle for grinding the relief angles on the side of the flutes and mount it to the bench grinder with adjustment to grind the relief angles on the end of the flutes. It also needs a finger to follow the flutes when grinding the sides.

Not worthy of another thread. Don't want to clutter @Lil Foot 's thread much either.

Always struggling with lighting in my cellar. Ceiling/joist height is ~ 80", but porcelain light fixtures are below that.

I'm 76" and have taken many bulbs out over the years with my head.

Have a table saw, bench grinder and small drill press down there. Have a couple 4-foot LED shop lights down there also.

These work real well (so far) in place of plain LED bulbs in the porcelain fixtures. 200W 20,000 lumen 6500k lights, so a Bright White.

While rated at 200W, only guessing actual would be 40W or so....

Didn't know such a thing existed until a few weeks ago.

Got them for $40 in a 4-pack from Amazon. The 6 "wings" let you direct light as needed. Thought $10 each wasn't bad.

Not any longer than a 150w LED bulb in a short cellar - - but I'll bet I'll still break one or more with my head.......

Picked this up at a bin store today.
Open box, brand new, no manual, shim kit missing.
I have shim kit leftovers from Servo brand power feeds, not sure if they will work.
It's not a Servo, or a Bridgeport, but for $50, it's worth a shot.

Nice score!

I have been wanting to add one to my Chi-Com mini mill for forever.

It's on "The List" for sure, and with the Big A's "prime days".......who knows?

Bill, I have some left over shims from the very same manufacturer. I installed them on all three axis on my mill. They’re yours if you need them.

Turns out I'm missing more than the shim kit- not sure exactly which parts yet, too many other projects currently in process to check yet, stay tuned.

Well, looks like i bought a pig in a poke.
Thought I was buying a power feed for a Bridgeport style mill, like this:

Turns out I bought a power feed for something called a ZX7045 & RF45 clones:

Crap.
I could probably adapt it to work, but it makes the table too long to fit in my shop.
And I need another project like I need another hole in my head.

Anybody have one of these mills and want a power feed?

$50 plus shipping.

Here's a video of the installation of this power feed:

Damn it man!

I also need another project like I need another hole in my head........However it appears that you have the one I need for my Chi-Com mill.

I'll take it.

I will send PM
