So I drove down to the Grizzly Tools tent sale in Muncy PA last Saturday looking to pick up some art supplies 
I ended up with a few nice purchases that I hope will come in handy.
The first was a 12" disc sander. It had a tag on it that said "loose arbor screw". After a short inspection I decided the arbor screw was not loose so I picked it up for 1/2 the price of a new one. It tuns out that all it needed was the adjustment to make the table parallel to the faceplate.
Next, I was walking around the woodworking tent and almost tripped over a complete head stock for a Grizzly G0462 wood lathe. It's 2HP, variable speed, digital readout, etc. Not sure exactly what I'll do with it yet but I got it for alot less than just a motor would cost so I couldn't resist.
Lastly, as I was wandering around the metal working tent looking for a great deal on a small metal lathe I happened across this used Shop Fox Lathe-Mill combo. The tag said the cross slide didn't work but every thing else looked good so I grabbed it. Turns out the cross slide nut was missing, also missing the chuck wrench, and the MT3 dead center. Overall, I think it's going to be a fun machine to play around with.
