    $10 Tool Box?

    Day 2 Rust Hunt. Walked around half the day, at least until Lunch. Only thing I "picked" was an old Peerless Tool Box...$10..

    So, what was so special about this old box?

    Well there was a "Made in USA" brace, a few bits....once they were all cleaned up this evening..

    There are four larger bits from Day 1 ( but that's another story..) and the countersink came along with the tool box. 5/32" is the smallest one..

    Then there were this fine thread R. Jennings bits...1/4" and up. And there was a few coarse threaded ones , as well..

    A few Irwins...

    The one in the center? I had to remove a "washer" someone had made, by using the bit to open a beer can.

    And a brace of some sort..

    The plug cutter was a 5/8" that was stamped "Made in W Germany" They had left the cutter in the brace too long, threads in the chuck got rusty...

    If they are a Morse taper #1 they would fit in my lathe.

    Well, that was a bargain.

    Those carbon steel twist bits - like a jobber's bit - aren't uncommon. They always remind me how much metalwork was done with braces before 'lectric drills came along. I have a few, but not at the bargain rate you acquired yours!

    Tapered shank bits are marked as a Morse. There is an "H" , a diamond with USA inside, and an "S"
    Also marked as "MAJOR" and High Speed CO.

    One had been turned a bit too far..maybe it needed a little extra reach?

    taper bits and adapters

    I have drill bits in both #2 and #1 tapers. (I bought them new for $1 each in an on-line closeout.) Since my wood lathes both use #2 in the headstocks/tailstocks and the metal lathe uses #3/#2 in the headstock/tailstock, I bought some hardened steel MT adapters to use them in any of the lathes. These were cheap.

    I made these pictures once to show how compact using a taper bit was compared to holding the same sized bit in a Jacob's chuck. This may increase precision by reducing deflection as allow drilling in longer pieces. This is even using an MT1 to MT2 adapter - it would be even more compact if the adapter wasn't needed.

    All else being equal, it is far quicker to switch drill sizes with the taper bits.

    Your "high speed CO may indicate that it contains cobalt which helps with the cutting edge lasting longer during high heat drilling.

    Ok, a few extras were found in that cardboard box from Day 1..
    extras.JPG
    Two extra long drill bits, smaller one is a 3/16". There was another brace twist drill bit, also 3/16"
    tap.JPG
    This is the third tap i've found it the two boxes....1/4" x 28 NF
    That fuzzy thing?
    DSCF0003.JPG
    Rasp? Saw? Those are all very sharp, pointy teeth.
    I don't think a brace can spin it fast enough to do much good, though....

    SLOWLY working my way through this hoard.....I think I have an empty drill index sitting somewhere....won't be empty for too much longer.

    An odd tap, that is what Stanley used on a lot of combination planes for the wing bolts and screws.

    I was a bit taken aback last week while browsing a rather new farm store to this area. They actually had some 1/4-28 bolts in stock. It is the first time I have seen them stocked anywhere and I have looked a lot.

    Nice haul and Happy Birthday! If you want to get rid of those taper shank bits I'd be happy to relieve you of them.
    Happy and Safe Turning, Don

    let me clean them up first.......


    As I said, I have no real use for them, none would fit the lathe I have.

    Just an FYI, 1/4"-28 UNF might be uncommon in Neander circles but it is a common machine screw size. It is simply a fine thread 1/4" screw.
    Please help support the Creek.
