A friend of mine calls me up... Work is getting rid of a bunch of 3x5 I beams. Do you want them? $0.06/lb.
Sounds great I'll take em.
I ended up with 5 - 20' links. I may or may not have 4 more. They are spoken for, but they haven't been picked up yet and the company wants them gone ASAP.
While I was picking them up in their yard, I noticed an old K&T dividing head looking sort of neglected. I asked my friend to check into the status of it. Guess what, got to take that home too for the price of $0.06/lb(their calculated scrap rate for steel).
Needs a little cleaning, but it seems to be functional and complete. It of course only has one plate with it. Looks to be about 6"(didn't measure it yet) from center to table.
Two questions: Where would I go about getting another plate(s)? Or maybe a new complete set?
How do I go about mounting a chuck on this(which seems to me would be more convenient/useful than the currently installed center)?
Thanks
