Les Henson Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I was given a load of these things today (in various sizes), about 50 altogether, but I don't know what they are/for. Are they engineering-type thingumys? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars L Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Old fashion tool bits for lathes and milling machines... I can probably be a little more specific about some if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smo Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Some nice and rather handy lathe tools, centre drills and milling cutters - let me know if you want shot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 I don't have a milling machine or a lathe, so anyone want them? (they came with 2 very handy plastic bowls that I need ) Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'll have 1st dibs on them please les, what do I owe you sir? Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Les - keep the V-blocks, handy for jigging stuff to be welded etc. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Keep the centre drill(s) too Les - useful for pre-drilling holes before attacking them with a real drill bit. You can then drill more accurately. Centre punch, centre drill, then drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiWhite Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 x2 - keep the centre drills and v blocks and clamps. I'll gladly lighten your load of the milling cutters if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKD Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Please don't put the welder near the V blocks. Its looks like they are a matched pair and would of cost £100+ when new and are worth about half if in good nick, someone in the know will give you you good money for them and buy yourself some G clamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i'd keep the lot if I were you... small mill/drills can be had for very little money these days, as can a basic metalworking lathe... the tooling is the expensive bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy511 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 dont use the centre drills in a hand drill les, the tips will just break off and theyre a cnut to get out from experience. ill buy the V blocks off you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
