Today's Craigslist Finds

[Dan Masshardt]

I saw a craigslist ad yesterday for some stuff being sold out of a dental supply warehouse of older stuff.

I got a dental light on a pole to put over my lathes. I have it positioned so I can easily position the light over either lathe - nice long adjustable arm. Also going to continue to modify the tool holder for some related turning accessories.

I also got a nice metal cabinet. These drawers are a great size to store all kinds of things. They pull out all the way easily too and have places for tags

I also picked up this baldor polishing etc lathe. It has a nice Keyless chuck on one side I have no idea what I need it for but it was cheap and I couldn't resist

GREAT, GREAT find

 

[ElMostro]

Great score, especially the keyless "chick"

Dan, That Light is the cats 'meow'. I have been looking for one for a long time. I do have a doctor's exam light on wheels but the dentist's light is a great find.

Lucky find on that cabinet also. They are very hard to come by today, without spending an arm and leg.

Congrats.

The dental light and the metal cabinet are very nice!

I have no doubt the extra polishing lathe will be well used.

Great additions (I REALLY like the light and cabinet...)!

what are you talking about? It says chuck and the 'edited' thing must be a mistake. ;-)

Nice score..

 

[Dan Masshardt]

I paid $50 for the light and $50 for the cabinet. $30 for the baldor.

Great find and use of the dentist light!
Storage is always useful!

Nice all around! That tool holder could help hold some dust collection hood possibly.

Not a bad thought buddy.

If I turn some antler it will smell like I'm getting my teeth drilled too. :-/

To me the motor is the find there. That motor will outlast us both

I have had this happen too. Must be a flaw in the forum.:biggrin:

That cabinet is the real find. You can sure store a lot of pen kits & blanks in it.
Around these parts, a used cabinet like that goes for $300-$400 by itself.

Was just thinking about adding a dental light over my lathe.

Nice find! That light is a great idea.

thinking about it is easy. Finding one is harder. I've not seen many around.

what kind of bulbs does that light require--and are they pricey??

Cool stuff--I really like the Baldor

Halogen. I don't think they're too bad. Put off a little heat though.

I got the baldor rocking. It's a cool little deal.
