For freeing seized items due to rust try using a 50/50 mix of acetone and transmission fluid (non-synthetic). I have used this in various items that are frozen and after a while they come free and after a little while longer they are like new. I recently had four needle nose pliers and linesman pliers that I thought were scrap. They are now like brand new.

Great haul, I had similar luck when I bought a used mini lathe in 2016, from someone who was selling it after his grandfather had passed, and when I'd put it in the car, he asked if I needed some tooling to go along with it. I told him I was a broke student, and he told me to not worry, they didn't need any of it, and it was just taking up space. Ended up with at least fifty new Gühring taps and thread formers,, with just a little bit of rust on them, a Mahr dial indicator, and a bunch of other stuff. I paid 250€ for a machine and got at least 300€ worth of tooling for free to go with it.

[@SegoMan]

The only way you can repay that is to pay it forward..

[@mrz80]

Bought a Kennedy toolbox off Craigslist for $100. When I went to pick it up from the seller, the drawers were stuffed full of files, broaches, miscellaneous bits of metal, and at least three Starrett micrometers (ironically, just after I'd shipped my micrometer off to Starrett for repairs).

I didn't think of an ultrasonic cleaner before because I only see items size of a house, big boy toys! just big and heavy. But after seeing this clip and all the parts that came in the lathe with rust or just locked up. I see you can easily fit those in an ultrasonic cleaner. I think will be a great investment if you don't already own one. You can also build one to fit your needs. I really doesn't cost much if you compare it to what it can do in a shop. Easy to build and lots of DIY content online. You can add temp. control, for the heavy stuff, and a timer. Mine is a 20gal. one, perhaps a little too small for you shop but I can only imagine if you built one to fit hydraulic motors or an engine block. lol getting a little carryaway, lol im just thinking out loud :). or you can start with a small one and see what it can do. you wont be disappointed. Happy New Year to you both ! Wishing you and family good health and prosperity. Thank you for all the content. Respectfully, Teddy

What a bonus, really good find all of that for the price of 5 large drills, that is such a bargain. I worked on the JP233 runway denial bomblet system. Once the contract was complete all tooling and tools that were purchased by the MoD were destroyed. For us skilled guys on the job it was heart breaking to see perfectly good kit being scrapped. They did not even offer them to us for sale, we were not expecting them for nothing.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

wow that's a sad situation!

[@evilbrat5376]

That the government - use once and destroy so no one else can get use out of them. Just stupid people in charge.

[@Azlehria]

@@evilbrat5376 Don't know if it's the same in other countries, but that's very common in the USA. It actually has nothing to do with preventing reuse or the like; it's because units and organizations _need_ to use up their entire budget every year to prevent it from being reduced the following year. The ideal resulting from that sort of budget practice is to actually exceed their allocated budget and tap into "emergency" funding, because that proves that they're "under-funded" and can't survive any cuts at all without compromising the mission. It's idiotically wasteful, but effectively mandated by laws and regulations that were, ironically, intended to _reduce_ budget abuse. So you end up with things like military units refurnishing their brand-new barracks every year to preserve their budget allocation for an upcoming equipment maintenance/replacement cycle.

I found this channel recently. I watch every episode with pleasure. In Poland, in scrap yards, such tools can also be found and bought for the price of steel scrap. There may be fewer of these things now, but real treasures were once thrown away. In the company where I used to work there was a school workshop for locksmiths, turners and mechanics. The school was closed and tons of tools and equipment were scrapped. Greetings from Poland ! Jack

[@TrevorDennis100]

When I read the title I was thinking mouse nest, or wasp nest or something nasty. So when those goodies kept on coming and coming, you were right. I _couldn't_ believe it! If I understood your five large twist drill comparison, that was about AU$5000 which is astonishing. I bet there will be people watching this video who were at the same auction, and who are no kicking themselves for passing on that lot. I am impressed with the job the Evaporust does. I bought a box of rusty drills home from my Menz Shed a few days ago and bathed them in white vinegar (thanks to a Googled tip) and they probably ended up MORE rusty, but maybe a little easier to clean rust. Right now I'm wishing I'd never started.

Grats on tools! Nice haul! Dial indicators can be rebuilt. Bsp British standard thread is a tapered witworth pipe thread. Uses a rounded thread instead of normal thread. Advantage is it’s easier to undo. Disadvantage doesn’t self seal as well as npt and requires tooling to cut…..sort of an international thread. Npt national pipe thread is a standard v groove pipe thread and is easy to cut on lathes. Self seals very well but can be a real pain to undo. This is also a sort of international thread. While more common in North America it is used else where because of equipment manufactured in the us or Canada shipped internationally. If you buy a tap a die set there is usually a 1/8 npt tap in kit. This one is overlooked because there is a “soft conversion” to metric sizes on npt. I have never seen a bsp thread myself but have heard of them before and how easy it is to undo the threads. Npt sometimes requires cutting and extracting before retapping holes as pipes destroy themselves before letting go.

Like to see hard working younger business couples do well thru hard work attention to detail . Luv your vids especially when you explain the machine they come from . Your no nonsense straight to the point explanations are spot on and your videos are never boring ( no pun instended).

You'd think they could at least throw a tarp over their auction items. 😑

Just wondering. Why would anyone leave this lathe and tools outside unprotected against weather conditions ?

Good question.

Congratulations on your new lathe and goodies. Interesting channel you have here, thanks.

The dog sounds so funny when he has the piggy toy in his mouth. Sounds like he's snoring.... Someone must have sent you a "small" Christmas present. The milling cutter or the turner's heart is really looking forward to a "small" tool extension.

The Spindle of a lathe is no lifting point, there’s a very high chance to bend it or damage the bearings.

He is not keeping it at the end Not his Problem

man I want a lathe so bad. Shoot I would take a table top one at this point. I want to learn. ANd man what a great score on the extra loot. I bet the cost of that stuff almost covered what you paid for the whole mill. I love all the hardware too. I am a sucker for hardware. I collect all I can get.

[@quinn860]

Lovely haul, nice suprise, id nearly be happier with all the tooling the the lathe

Need to look back through Bigstacks videos as this was in March. Pretty sure he's done them already.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

We never heard back from him if he wanted any of it 😭

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering Remember him doing a subs melt of brass fittings but after checking wasn't within the time line.

One definitely has to have good traction, and I'll leave the mud part up to everyone's imaginations. Looks like y'all made a major score on this adventure into the bidding at auctions, but as I'm sure you know. It typically goes the other way around, and we're the one's that get the short end of the stick, and the auction house makes the profits. So F__king good for you, top shelf tooling you got there, and probably just made the year end profits jump up 20%!! Best of all, the slimy money grabbers, won't be around taking they're pound of flesh for the profits made off this here. Homeless gets a promotion with this extra bonus savings ya'll made. Definitely calls for finding him a date to celebrate his promotion to department supervisor, and equal shares in company stocks. Plus a doggie door of his own to his own private facilities as his new status entitles him to. Can I get a second on this recommendation for Homeless to get equal share of company ownership, and the top position in safety department head.

[@michaelachilles2777]

I hope, i am allowed to ask that question. 😊 Is that amount of metal lathes necessary for a one man workshop or can i call you "the collecter" 😂

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

We didn't keep this lathe 😎👍

[@michaelachilles2777]

@@CuttingEdgeEngineering wait until "the collector" is gaining more workshop space.😂😂😂 More of them to come, i guess.

[@SeanBZA]

You need the big lathe, so you can work on the smaller lathe, and the smaller lathe still to handle the stuff the big lathe cannot grip. Then the tiny lathe, that only goes up to a half metre in length, and which cannot do more than a quarter metre diameter object. For Kurtis, lathe sizes are from 2 bananas, up to the whole plantation size.

[@edwardmyers1746]

Right on! What a score.

Downvote for the clickbait-style title. Please do not do that. I avoid such videos such that my feed is clean and not filled with shit. If I "have" to click on such a video because I know the content is good, like with you, the algorithm things I like this stuff.

Great find of extra tooling with the lathe,I know it wasn't a long time but I was cringing with picking it up by the headstock.

As an old machinist from Central Florida, USA, Good on ya Kurtis! I just found your channel and enjoy your videos (and your Doggo).

Congratulations on your new purchase. I would say that you made a fantastic deal on the lathe and the various components that came with it. To bad we are so far away from each other. Would love to stop by your place and chat about old times and see your operation. The best of luck and have a good day. Jim Hardman, Hatboro, PA USA

A REAL Bargain, especially liked the Classic Blooper ending. Well done!

[@SnowTiger45]

Sometimes it pays to be in the right place at the right time with a pocket full of money. You did very well. This is one of the beauties of some auctions. Sometimes there are hidden bonus goodies among the things we purchase. If you win a bid that is already a good deal (or even a steal) and later find out there are extra bonus items, it can really make your day .. or even month.
