who says that there is no santa claus !!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man you are sooo set up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« Watervliet « is an Old-Dutch word meaning a waterway where the tide is noticeable. You pronounce it more or less like water – fleet.
I'm scratching my head about all those cutters from Alaska. Not the most efficient supply chain, but I'm glad they made their way to Keith's shop.
I always watch to the very end. How is it going out at the Museum? Hope to see you put some of that loot to work in the future.
Any news on the Stoker Engine?
I made it to the end!
water-val-ete near me cool
Thanks Keith Enjoyed thanks for sharing
"TO THE VERY END" scared me.. Sudden yelling!
Keith, to respond to your comment about not being able to get domestic milling cutters – I know of the Moon Cutter Company of Hamden, CT, and a plant of the ARCH cutting tool company in Athol, MA. To my knowledge, both of these companies still make milling cutters here in the USA. You probably have more cutters than you could ever use, but should anyone need to purchase new ones, there are still companies that make them on American soil.
I always watch to the very end. Looking forward to more on the 10EE lathes.
I always watch your video's to the very end. Cheers 🙂
Great find on those horizontal milling machine cutters! Thanks for sharing Keith.
Good Pick. Congrats Keith
Thank you
Barber-Coleman also made some very nice heavy engine lathes.
I used to live down the street from the Watervliet Arsenal. It is the government facility that makes all types of artillery for the military , field artillery to battleships barrels . It is located just outside Albany NY next to the Hudson river. It has been in existence for over a 100 years and still turning out military items , BTW , Watervliet is French , so that might help , Water- vilet like two words . I bet those tools have a story to tell !!!! be safe be well .
😛😛😛😛❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
To the very end!
We have a Watervliet in Michigan too.
I have that same set of hand reamers. Mine is not as complete. I know mine was navy…it had about 8 cots of gray paint on the box!😅. Watervliet is a US arsenal, and that reamer set may be put together at the arsenal. See if there are makers marks on the individual tools
That lathe tool height setter assumes your lathe cross slide is set level to the ground, that would need to be checked first.
The "vliet" in watervliet is pronounced in a way like "fleet" instead of a "F"with a "V". It a dutch sounding name. Not sure about their history over in tthe NL
I hung in there and actually made it this far. Thank you for all you do. 🙂
You got some nice stuff. I'm going to the Bash for the first time and I'm looking forward to meeting you. I live about 10 miles away from the Watervliet Arsenal. One of my friends is the QA Manager there.
Man what a batch of cutters, awesome. Those reamers are nice too. Great viewer items !
Hope to see you at the bash….ATB
Keith, Watervliet is pronounced WATER-VA-LEET. It is an old manufacturing city just north of Albany and across the Hudson River from Troy, New York (my home town). It is noted for the Watervliet Arsenal which has been producing (big) armaments for the military for generations. You'd be in machinists heaven with all the (old) machinery that was used in this manufacturing plant over the years. Watervliet was also home to Behr Manning (now part of Norton Company) which made industrial abrasives/sanding paper, etc.. Iron and Steel foundries in Troy kickstarted the industrial revolution in America back in the mid-1800's. Schenectady is on the other side of Watervliet. You may have heard of some of the 'small' companies that called this city home. Companies like General Electric and Alco. Huge Vintage Machinery history in this region!
