Scrap yard find today

[Charley Davidson]

I needed a better vice for my Bridgeport & low & behold I find a Kurt and any of you that know machine shop stuff know what a great find this is. New over $600.00 I got it for 80 quarters

So much good stuff is getting scrapped these days because of the high prices being paid for steel. What a score and what a save.

Two thumbs up

Isn't it amazing what people don't think is worth anything

 

[Dirtyrat]

Yea... crazy indeed. BTW you can get all the parts for those still!

A drill press vice is definitely a great tool to have.
A friend of mine bought some 1800's anvils the other day and he told me they sell for about $3-$4 per pound. Do you guys have any anvil knowledge?

This is no "Drill Press Vice" it's a $600.00 Milling machine vice.

Dirty Rat, Yea I know, I think you'll always be able to get all parts for all models from Kurt. We have close to $500,000.00 worth of Kurt vices at work from several of this model, & up to 16 tomb stones. They are the Cadillac of vices

Exellent score ! I was happy two weeks ago when I found a rusty one for $175.00 on craigs list. It pays to be observant.
