| Here's the biggie; basically a Webb is a Bridgeport-style vertical mill, but with a larger table and a larger work envelope. The table is 49in. long and travel is something like 30 in. X and 17 in. Y. The machine is for sale for the modest sum of $4,000, including something like $1k worth of tooling. I had a chance to run the machine in March and it operates quite well. All things considered it's a heckuva deal. |

| Tighter shot of stepper controller and quick-change tool holder. The controller allows input of distance, direction and speed, with high and low ranges. The toolholder was made by an outfit called "Inmotion" and did what it implied, i.e. the tool could be changed while the spindle was in motion. |

| Close-up of the X-axis stepper motor itself. It's a whopper and can deliver quite a bit of torque. |
|
| Tooling that is included with the sale; back to front: some sort of round tooling plate (nobody knows what this thing is); a 6-in. vise and finally 5 tool holders that go with the Inmotion unit in the spindle. There might also be a few endmill holders; not sure... |

| This is a Rockwell 14-in. bandsaw with a clutch mechanism that permits selection of high and low speed ranges. It has 3 speeds in each range so that it can be used for cutting metal or wood. Nancy's asking $375 for this and it's a hell of a bargain. |
|
| Semi-complete set of micrometers; that is to say after he died some of Hank's unsavory friends came by and stole the 4 smaller, most common ones. Still and all the larger ones are rare and the thief failed to notice the hidden tray of rod standards that would make it possible to use these larger micrometers on smaller diameter work. Graduations are only .001 in., but then again Nancy only wants something like $100.- for the lot of them. |
