    Very cool how you tell what you paid for each piece of equipment and give an estimate of what each piece of equipment made you I don’t think I have ever seen any videos with that information.

    Remember Howee, the people that critique your shop have never owned a business in their life, much less had a machine shop to organize. Heck, 75% of those making negative comments are most likely children. There's a reason why you have so many people interested in what you do. When the debate is lost slander becomes the tool of the loser.

    Never worked on that model pipe threader, Rigid was the most common, Can't go wrong with a Baldor for $100. I bought a Craftsman combo sander, for a few bucks, at a sale. I have stood for hours, in front of a Kalamazoo, with a Baldor motor. Only use the blue belts. I like J-head Bridgeport style vertical knees. We always had to drop them down first, then crank them up to zero, to maintain a little bit of accuracy. If you have a Tree knee, that's what I would do important work on. We had an old Milwaukee #7, off an old aircraft carrier, for the heavy duty parts. I see your biggest is a horizontal, with a drive axle, sitting on it. We were making a pull machine and had thirty some feet, one inch thick angle iron, on it, had to turn the machine, and have it sticking out the garage door. One of our surface grinders was manually operated. At six four, it was a little low, so I stood there for hours, doing the splits, to save my back. I stood for hours in front of a bandsaw. I really appreciated the built in welder, you had about six inches of adjustment, so a blade can get shorter, before you need to toss them. And you can tell, with a little experience, that there is a thumping, right before the break. Made a couple drill jigs for the Corvette rear dash speakers. Drilled out for lightening holes, and welded the blade through. Made the table too, with a vertical arm, that held an air drill motor. General Tire, made the rear dash and the hood, on the nineties models.

    Howee is a great resource and a nice has a great attitude.
    I'm always impressed with the technological advancements that came during the 19th and early and mid 20th century.
    I often wonder what cool new technologies and machinery are currently classified secrets of government .

    The cnc lathe would be nice for turning .750 spherical radi on press nozzles and the mold sprue bushings, but other than those refacing jobs the engine lathe is better for most simple things. The cnc lathe is like horizontal mill, not used much but handy when you have a job it does the best. The small surface grinders get used a lot for mold ejector pin replacement, grinding small inserts,grinding carbon for sinker EDM machine,grinding vents in mold parting line on smaller mold cavitys and inserts,the vertical bandsaw is always useful to have for endless odd jobs that pop up

    Gotta weld the bands if you've gotta break the band! Still should rough saw out steels before wire edm, there is a significant amount of stress left in after heat treat if you dont.

    @2:05 Those drawers look like GWS/Treston, are those made in Finland? 50 for each is practically for free. Used ones here goes around 400-500€..

      They are Lista, I also have some Stanly vidmar, that are almost alike. They run around $4K each new, and normal $900 used here. This was a very good deal, He was so focused on sales of the equipment, He didn't even halt when I offered an extra $1000, if He threw in the 10 cabinets.
