mrpete SCORES AT HIS FINAL TOOL AUCTION tubalcain

[@FredMiller]

Yes it is a vice stop. Thanks for sharing.. Fred

[@FrankRoden-wm2lm]

These auction videos excite the world out of me ...I have too often bought lots just to get one thing. This is right up my ally ..Nice Lyle !!

[@mrpete222]

It is hard to resist the lure of the auction!

[@outofcontrol9886]

Mr. Pete, with every saved broken dodad there is a significant story that must go with it to save it;) i myself have gone through my own tool box and recalled each broken or displaced item and had a smile drift across my face as is recalled why it broke. all good stuff glad you were able to take them all in.

[@rarmitagebeef]

Made me chuckle! "You can see a Starret box on top and if that doesn't excite you, there's something wrong with you!" Great quote!

[@davidcokley1929]

I had to laugh out loud at that myself

[@PatrickPease]

That and "i can see 'em from a hundred yards... Through my cataracts"🤣

[@karlwood7014]

I had a lecturer called Mr schram back when I was doing my mechanical apprenticeship who I could listen to for hours. His love for tools and grease inspired me and you reminded me of him. Thanks from Scotland

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@carlyleporter5388]

A 'hammer and chisel mechanic'. What a hoot !! I'm gonna have to remember that one !! Mr. Pete never fails to entertain !

[@ajofscott]

Pete, the flex couplings are commonly used to couple position sensors to shafts with unreliable centers/axis, also often used to couple stepper motors to positioners/leadscrews as they accomodate both angular misalignment as well as absorption of end play to a degree.

[@TechGorilla1987]

High speed flexible steel motor couplers.

[@ralphgould2783]

Mr.Pete, The anvils go to a Mitutoyo dial indicator stand model 7003. Stand is still shown in KBC catalog. Ralph

[@bcbloc02]

You know your iron addiction is bad when you even enjoy looking at what other people scored. :-)

[@tjnak]

I had the same thought. I was lamenting I could not be there and help sort the treasure

[@themainproblem]

I didn't know our problem had a name. I feel strangely better now. :-) He buys stuff like me... I don't need it but I want it.

[@BrassLock]

+bcbloc02 : My cats do the same; they hunt geckos every night, right after I just fed them 😃

[@kenstaniforth7060]

I hope it's not your last auction mrpete .I had quite a few laughs at your dry humor when you commented on some of the items.Must have been fun to have you as a shop teacher.I took machine shop from 1966 to1969 but my teachers weren't as comical as you.I'm really glad to have studied machine shop and mechanical drafting,it's helped me out a lot throughout my working life.I don't think the kids today have the same opportunity to learn a trade as we did.I guess that's why we have a hard time to buy anything that's not made offshore.Keep up the good videos.

[@ronpeck3226]

One could only guess why Mrs P would be running low on towels ;-). Thanks for sharing

[@GermanToolReviews]

Rohm chucks are very high quality, nice find! Probably worth $50-100 for that one alone. Those flex couplings at 22:56 are used to connect two shafts and allows for some level of misalignment. You would often see connecting the shaft of a motor to a lead screw. A lot of people keep the broken stuff with the intention of returning it under warranty, but never get around to it. It's your last auction until you go to the next one.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@daleburrell6273]

German Tool Reviews HOW TRUE....!!

[@MultiArrie]

in the netherlands on every old drill press that have been in a profesional workshop there is a Rohm or a Metabo chuck stuck on it.

[@paulhunt598]

The coupling is mostly used for encoders on cnc machine

[@greenth7]

Hello Mr. Peter222, That Bausch and Lomb unit is a "light fixture" that works in conjunction with that stereoscope (Bausch and Lomb) you bought at a previous auction. Insert the cylindrical light appendage in the hole on the frame of the stereoscope; it will illuminate the object being observed.

[@kb0zyh]

I really enjoy seeing your auction finds. Auctions are a great way to spend an afternoon. Thanks for sharing.

[@dirtyfingernailsauto8946]

Mr Pete , you are a thrill to watch even if you are digging through boxes of used junk . The commentary ALONE is entertaining and what keeps me coming back thank you for your KZbin time , it is WELL appreciated !!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like my videos

[@OldSneelock]

I had one of the older tool makers who was not up to the heavy die work do repairs on the indicators, gauges, micrometers, etc from the quality department. Most of the repairs involved cleaning and calibrating. We know Bubba seldom cleans his tools or even puts them back in the case when finished. I gave him carte blanche on what he ordered and he was very good at keeping the $ gauges working. Saved a bunch of money. He had boxes of parts similar to what I have seen here. Of course they were sorted by maker, type, and use, instead of piled together. Like you said the guy holding up the box lots was baling hay yesterday and setting up displays of tools that he has never seen before this morning in the rush to get set up so the auction can start. Fun times. UTC sent around lists of tooling from the companies they absorbed, shredded, and closed. I only ordered one lot of tools from Pratt and Whitney closures. It was a 4 foot square cube Gaylord box filled with tool steel blanks. Enough tool steel to make multiple tool sets. 😁😁😎😎

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@junglejammer1]

I loved looking over your shoulder at those goodies. I have a couple of those larger screw jacks like you showed in the beginning. They were my Father's. He was a carpenter and he said they were house jacks. I also have one of those pry bars for dies. My boss gave me one when the plant closed. I got it because they seemed so handy. It's been hanging on the wall of my workshop now, for over 20 years and not been used once. LOL.

[@garyronan5568]

Dave Lee But give it away and you'll need it next week!

[@keithpattison6763]

Thanks again Lyle, for this interesting collection. Watched to the end.

[@richardnix2046]

Hello Mr.Pete I would keep a broken die for one reason. You can slip around a fastener or part that has a bad thread start, slide the die stock on, then repair the thread by threading your way off. nixman358

[@duobob]

That is probably the reason it is broken...

[@ironwrx]

35:00 several times in this video you mentioned Westclox. I’m wondering if these are for checking cases for pocket watches?

[@kenzpenz]

Think for a moment about the past owner of all these tools. I'm sure there is a sad, but wonderful story about his work. I hope he is there to hold the door open for me when I get there, and will probably ask if Mr. Pete is OK : ) . I love watching these videos and wish I could be there. My wife just sighs, smiles and says " yes Ken what would you do with all those tools ?" I would put them out with the rest of the tools I bought off Ebay and many still remain unused. It's the thrill of the hunt. Keep up the great work Mr Pete, I watch every video, and look forward to more. ...take care,... the old retired guy out there in Marina CA.

[@themainproblem]

Well stated! It really is the thrill of the hunt. Some hunt animals but we hunt tools.

[@Andrewlang90]

Kenneth Bartlett Couldn't have put it better myself. Even better, I bet the person is looking down pleased to see who his treasures went to.

[@garyronan5568]

Kenneth Bartlett When your good lady asks that open her closet and point to her shoe's!

[@markschiavone8003]

Kenneth Bartlett , they may have died and left them behind.

[@roylucas1027]

Fun video. I I always watch your videos trill the end. Always interesting.

[@rwallace1625]

Thanks for the video Mr. Pete, you rock! Can't wait for the next one.

[@DanielSallros]

At 34:18 the serrated round thing is an anvil for a comparator stand. And yes those look like Mitutoyo anvils for their comparator stands. They come in different shapes, flat, serrated, with a ball (spherical) shape, etc.

[@outalive55]

Enjoyed your video, look forward to your ebay sale.thanks for a preview. hope you continue your auction trips, always fun to see what you find.

[@brosselot1]

great find MrPete. if you ever want to part with the T slot cleaner and old calipers and dividers let me know. I would also be interested in the HSS tool blanks. Thanks for sharing.

[@louisstout5890]

Hell yeah I'm still watching! Very interesting stuff! Keep up the good work!!!

[@joedell71]

These videos excite my inner hoarder. I promised myself a couple years back that I wouldn't buy any more junk just because it was a good deal. So this makes me feel good about all of the "great stuff" I've left behind recently

[@kevinwillis9126]

watched start to finish.... Thanks for sharing sir...

[@thefirstcalled]

Thank you for allowing me/us to enjoy your auction journeys. I used to love going to auctions, and cannot anymore.

[@gunnutmike]

I watched all the way to the end, couldn't help myself. I need to get rid of things in order to move out of California, so this is like therapy to soothe my tool buying withdrawals. Thank you, Sir!

[@mb9604]

9:30 "stubby" drill bits are actually called screw machine length drill bits Mr Pete. Thanks for sharing your haul! Very fun

[@Zrambo49]

I really enjoy your video's. Both my brother and I enjoy all your projects and road trips. I don't have the money like the people who bid on E-bay, but I do try to bid on some of your stuff. Keep up the good work and I really like your dry jokes and comments.

[@salvatoremicale7746]

i all so had a good time. you did a good at the auction. and it was nice to see . you will get your money back and more.good for you . i love it. sal

[@rogeroconnor5182]

i enjoyed watching every minute,i am more of a garage sale person myself. i recently purchased a atlas 10 f with alot of tooling and manuals for 225. according to the guru,s i showed pictures to its from 1943-45. it is a babbet bearing lathe in decent condition and i plan on restoring it and using it

[@gokmachine]

Flex couplings like the one at 22:58 are used tot connect a rotating shaft with an electronic instrument, for instance a rev indicator or counter. It compensates any misalignment and still is backlash free.

[@Paleoman]

Watched all the way through. Interesting stuff all around. Thanks for sharing Mr. Pete222.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@tonyus8197]

I can't help but think that if I was a young machinist, with a very limited budget, those auctions are a real gold mine. Really enjoying these videos, even though I'm from Europe and "metric inclined"... Please keep them coming...

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I shall

[@HellSpawn722001]

thanks for the video. I love watching you go through the box's of tools and such. great score.

[@burninpwder76]

love these auction videos. watch till the end every time

[@keithknight2334]

Mr. Pete, the DEEPOL is an attachment for the Bridgeport Mill to set up a indicator to measure quill travel. If you google it, MSCDirect still sales them.

[@ianmacpherson2409]

You asked if anyone is still watching at 35:36. Yes I am because a lot of the stuff is really interesting, thanks

[@kejay74]

Me too. All the way to the bitter end! ;

[@Puggy1234ful]

Yup I'm watching also, but damned if I know why

[@a321mech]

I watched right to the end. Impressive stuff. The anvils you spoke of at the 35 minute mark kind of remind me of specialty holders for a Rockwell hardness tester. The flat one looked like it had some hardness dimples on it.

[@stevereed2788]

Dear Mr. Pete, You are a sick man and I watched your entire video and loved it! I guess I'm not the only one who gets a thrill from diving into an old box of tools. Great fun! I often wonder how many other sick people there are in the world. Now I know I'm not the only one!

[@bobbyardevas2936]

I enjoy tools being a gear head & a retired toolmaker also. I miss machining & would like to start again thanks to you.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching, buy yourself some machines

[@bobbyardevas2936]

mrpete222. that's what I'm looking for in Colorado.

[@daveticehurst4191]

Lyle, the Bauch and Lomb item near the end is a LIGHT unit, for illuminating the work, plug it in and try it. A very nice light with the ability to be adjusted in brightness.

[@gaylesooter2003]

Hi Mr. Pete, I have the same problem going to gun auctions, I alway come home with more than I expected to buy, and love looking through all the smalls to find some treasure I don't need or will not use.

[@elpenorsarajevo4591]

Watching from intro until credits, eyes wide open :D Not to mention i came to shop tips #188 (every single video) and plan on watchingan entire series (maybe even twice :D ) Just keep them coming ;) Cheers my good Sir!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching

[@contemporiser]

I like this grinding vise,. Simple yet very precise.

[@themainproblem]

The grinding vise is really nice. That caught my eye as well.

[@motor1395]

Thanks Lyle. Followed you until the end. Enjoyed every minute!!!

[@ottoreuter6279]

I love these videos because I learn to look out for when I come across tools. Particularly the large and small details that separate quality from junk. Please not your last!

[@spinnerbaitalways]

yes Mr Pete i watched the whole thing i love scrounging and looking through old stuff like that thank you Sir.

[@katyfox2749]

13:51 is a roller chain clamp its used to hold the ends together untill the master link is installed. 19:07 is a DeepOL positive quill stop , the "c " attaches to the 1-1/2" collar around the STOP screw & the clamp ass'y attaches to the base of the quill stop , value new is about $ 100.00 . Then an indicator is attached to the top part in the 3/8 hole w/a clamp screw. 34:08 I believe these are for hardness testers for different part profiles.

[@garyronan5568]

Byron Fox - 44 years a machinist Just before that was the chain breaker. I've carried one in my motorcycle tool bag for over 40 year's and used it twice and not on my bikes.

[@aliaseldombensobarsmith4982]

When my wife starts to growl about all my junk that I bring home, I just say but think of the great sale you can have when I'm gone! It always brings a smile to her face!

[@roberthorner8494]

I ALWAYS ENJOY GOING THROUGH YOUR TREASURES WITH YOU. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.

[@hemiram05]

Another great score! I wish we had auctions like that down here in the south. It looks like you're making out pretty good on eBay! Good luck.

[@metalmogul4691]

You are so fortunate to be able to attend an auction for these items, where I live there is no such thing.

[@charlescompton4495]

I love it! You and auctions are like bees and honey; you make it look like Columbus discovering America. I do have a small Atlas lathe so if you run into parts for them I'll watch a little closer. Have fun at the next auction (I'm sure you will), Greg.

[@paulvanzweel8287]

Jeez I just love to see the shit you guys find on auctions. It is like Christmas morning watching you open all this ......

[@mrpete222]

Yes lol

[@rpahmeier]

Hey Lyle, Found some cool info on Mr. Bartels whos name came up a few times on some of the tools and probably most of the tools that were his at one point. He was born in Peru,IL 1924. WW2 veteran and was quality control supervisor for 30 years at Westclox. He passed away in 2011. Thought you may find some of the info, about the tools you now own, interesting.

[@mrpete222]

My dad apparently knew Frank. My brother went to school with his son

[@rpahmeier]

mrpete222 yes you mentioned you were from that area so I wondered if there was a connection one way or another. Very cool!

[@briannemec9214]

When I worked for a company that did printing I saw the flex couplings used between the servo drives and the locating gears. Printing registration was controlled by servos to move in the X and Y position on the printed web.

[@bnuttsgee]

I can't wait to see the towels in a later video.

[@garyronan5568]

bnuttsgee Hopefully, not while he's using them!!

[@luther99flame]

at 34m 7s - the "anvil for insp dept", they are the ones that screw on to a Dial Gauge Stand (Mitutoyo Part Number 7001-10). I work for the Inspection Department at my work, and see these every day :)

[@DennisBallinger]

Took me until July to get to the video, but watched till the very end! I like going through stuff and tools like this like you said not sure why.

[@MrHowieZ1973]

I love these videos . Wish I could get out to the auctions more. Living vicariously through you sir. Never throw away a manila envelope without inspecting it first. Had an old feller keep his money in them.

[@tom7601]

The bent needle-nose pliers are great for pulling swarf off the lathe, mill, or drill press!

[@localbroadcast]

flex coupling links a motor to a shaft... absorbs some of the initial inertial jerk, as well as the jerk of a stepper motor.

[@wktodd]

the lever and cylindrical block in the first box are parts for a speed quill lever for a bridge port mill . the lever hinges in and out to re-engage the drive pin.

[@1BigDawg357]

I figured someone would have mentioned this already. Just like the one on my BPort. Hope it didn't go to the bin.

[@garyc5483]

Great show mrpete. The anvils are probably for the johansson mikrokator comparator stands that you got from Westclocks auction last time. Lots of good stuff in those boxes. Glad you have not been so quick to call too many of the items junk. probably need to go through it all again a bit slower. regards from the UK.

[@mb9604]

23:00 flex coupling is to hook electric servo motor to a ball screw or acme threaded rod. It damps the shocks and softens start/stop torque

[@shiro-r4m]

23:39 That's a vise-stop It clamps onto the fixed jaw of a kurt-style vise to fix a sideways position if you need a stop for repeated work on the milling machine

[@joep2379]

𝖘 𝖍 𝖎 𝖗 𝖔 Watched the entire video. Always keeps my interest. Yes, at 23:39, I agree, that is a vise stop. I made one just like it, and use it on the vise of my milling machine. The particular one you have also looks as though it was made by someone. It's an exact of the one that I made.

[@davidwarren1143]

the deepol is used to hold a 1" travel indicator on the spindle of a mill

[@EnergyFabricator]

22:50 Its a flexible shaft coupling for joining shafts which are not perfectly aligned.

[@jenniferwhite6089]

yes look like the part has 2 different sizes of holes too

[@joemcgarry1106]

The anvils @ 34"15 were for an indicator drop gauge, The first box @ 7:45 was a ratcheting handle for a bridgeport that went with the cylindrical part that has the square transverse hole thru it @ 8:25. The 3/8 x 8" HSS tool bit. long ones were used on automatic screw machines. Probably obsolete now @25:10.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@hwwelds9050]

Of course still watching. Great video education. If for no other reason just learning how to throw away bent screws and other junk will help to raise my standard and clean up my shop. :-)

[@AJ_Halvajian]

I caught myself watching this channel compulsively all of a sudden! Mr. Pete's my BOY; I suffer from the SAME affliction budd... I'm just actually at current (trying) to piece together some proper machinist tooling, & I'm just learning so these are quite informative! (btw, I'm seeing hella doubles -feel free to share the love:) j/k I thank you for sharing your wisdom & experience, Teach; Think mbe I'll show for some more current classes:/

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Awesome scores there Mr. Pete! Congrats! It's a win for all of us since we'll get videos of those tools in use! How many lathes have you purchased since your "last" one? ;) And I wonder why, just why, Mrs. Pete is running low on bath towels? ;) She might want to watch more of your videos.

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Looks like some good candidates for the "What Is It" series in this auction. Still right there with you Mr. Pete @ 31:28

[@elund408]

I enjoyed the video. when showing the Craftsman ratchet, you mention they are under warranty, which is true. When you take them back they replace them with junk so bad that it isn't worth driving across town to replace. I took one back last week it was replaced with garbage only good for recycling. I am tempted to find good used ones now so in 20 years when my future grandsons need tools, I can give them quality. I should probably buy them 70s chevys at the same time, so they have somthing to work on.

[@stevewatr]

At 17:43, the fork box has a v block clamp that might fit that v block at 23:07.

[@danedewaard8215]

At 29 minutes, the bausch & lomb is a microscope illuminator. Probably cost hundreds $ when new. Nice video. Couldn't pause to make popcorn!

[@edgeeffect]

I thought my 11mm tap was getting on the big size... but... dear god... that's a MIGHTY tap you've got in one of those boxes.

[@GrussimoGarage]

Thanks for sharing Pete.....

[@cliffordfender1159]

Lyle, the coupler is a type that is used between a servo motor and an encoder on a much older style cnc or similar situation. Point being, small and lightweight, yet sturdy and rigid in a radial direction for the delicacy of an encoder. I hope this is clearer than mud, Cliff

[@KashaTsepesh]

Its just relaxing haha ... I have a problem. Need to get my fix when I dont have an auction going on to attend

[@yambo59]

I saw you had some of those guage blocks loose in a previous box, might have been enough to make up that box-?

[@terryjennings2356]

23:41 That is a vice stop for your machinist vice. I use mine on the Bridgeport mill.

[@TBJK07Jeep]

Mr Pete,We use flex couplings for a linkage from a linkage to a feedback pot. Particularly in our case, Vane feedback pot for inlet guide vane for a centrifugal chiller (large HVAC). Ours are not that big though.

[@TBJK07Jeep]

Additionally, the flex allows for a degree of vibration dampening to keep the feedback pots from going bad.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@luvipiebandit6124]

Yep Still watching

[@udowillkomm1173]

Me also....

[@geoanth]

Me too!

[@ghost2coast296]

31:30 yep still watching, love seeing what others have had lying around their garages for the past 5 decades, plus all your wisdom only makes it more interesting

[@EdwardLoftis]

I'm using a flex coupler on a project I'm doing

[@machinistmikethetinkerer4827]

Haha Mrs. P got towels... That there is a Starrett box. If that don't excite ya.... Love it

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@materialsguy2002]

Lyle, the Bausch & Lomb object is actually an illuminator that you can use with your B&L stereoscope. If it is working it will throw a variable intensity spot of light that you aim at the object on the stage of the stereoscope. The lamp in your left hand at 29:16 fits into the base in your right hand via the ring on the top of the base. I do enjoy these videos, thanks.

[@neilchambers1329]

Hey Tubal, That looks like an Encoder drive coupling. It's built that way to allow for slight mis-alignment.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@lexvoortz2213]

the anvils are for the 'small'measuringstands ,that cary a indicator on a small column based on a castiron foot with one of those anvils on it ,right under the indicator. hope that makes sense.

[@elliotromokurek6981]

I've seen those flexible couplings before in my robotics team. Thiey are used when you need to connect two shafts that don't really line up. they're not very reliable in my experience and we sheared about 3 of them before giving up and remaking the whole piece so that the shafts lined up.

[@sickboymech92]

Mr. Pete what you thought was a magnet looks like a straight edge for indicating surfaces.

[@pophamlarry]

my goodness. the man who used all of these tools spent a fortune on his tools. he worked hard just to buy more and more tools. lol nice buy sir you did really good

[@Bigdog789stone]

Those flex couplings are to connect two moving shafts that are offset to one another.

[@scottcarlon6318]

I think those round disks are keepers for magnetic bases to keep the magnets from sticking to every thing and to protect the surface.

[@randychamblin8928]

The tool you didn't know what was is a vise stop. It clamps to the top of the stationary vise jaw to slide a part up against. It's used a lot in a production environment

[@robroiboi]

Yep, I watched to the very end, had fun digging with you
