Pawn Shop find!
« on: May 02, 2013, 10:17:59 PM »
I like to stop in at the local pawn shops every few weeks and check out what they have for sale.  I usually leave empty handed, but sometimes I find a good deal.  Last year I found a 3 1/2" six cutter face mill with a R-8 taper for $30.00!  The carbides were in good shape too.

Today found a 12" Starrett machinist level for $69.00!  Even better yet I talked them down to $50.00! 
I wanted to buy a machinist level for some time now and am glad that I ran into this deal.

Now that is a find! I don't know the going rate where you live, but here I have seen them (not Chinese) go for $100+. And that's when the seller has had no clue or didn't find/see the brand name...

Lucky you!

Nice find I always walk through them looking for additions or something to use on a future project.
