  • We bought a 2nd hand machining lathe at a local auction and you won't believe what we find in it! After we get the lathe unloaded at our workshop we start to find some very unexpected items and tooling that were hidden in the machine.

    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.

It has 2 cupboards underneath, I managed to get one door open and it was empty so left the other alone. Several years later I opened the door to find bunch of new old stock parts a new 4 jaw chuck, new change gear set, spare bearings etc..all wrapped in their wax paper and boxes. Was a good day.

    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.

      @@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.

The school was closed and tons of tools and equipment were scrapped. Greetings from Poland ! Jack

    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.

    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.

    Hello Curtis, you made a great deal. Congratulations on the parts. It is always a pleasure for me to watch you at work. It's very interesting what you do because it proves that you don't always need everything new and that a good mechanic can fix almost everything. I look forward to more videos. Happy New Years greetings

    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.

Very few people are aware silicon carbide/carborundum grit products are very dangerous to spin up once they've been wet or even out too long in very humid conditions. Silicon carbide begins to rapidly surface oxidize on contact with water, losing bond.
