Vertex BT30 ER32 Collet Chuck

Product Overview

The Vertex BT30 ER32 Collet Chuck is a workhorse toolholder designed for CNC machining centres running a BT30 spindle taper. With ER32 collet capacity covering a broad range of shank diameters, this chuck gives you the flexibility to run end mills, drills, reamers, and taps from a single toolholder — a practical setup staple in any shop running smaller VMCs or older Japanese machining centres. Grab a spare collet for a different diameter and you’re changing tools in seconds without reaching for a dedicated holder every time.

BT30 Taper Interface — The BT (Big-Plus compatible geometry) 30-taper shank provides a positive, repeatable seating in the spindle with dual contact at both the taper and flange face on compatible machines. Consistent seating means predictable runout every time the tool goes back in — critical when you’re holding tight tolerances on repeat jobs.
ER32 Collet System — ER32 is the most widely used collet standard in the industry for good reason: it covers shank diameters from 2mm up to 20mm in a single nut, accepts both metric and inch tooling, and the spring collet design provides excellent grip concentricity. A quality ER32 collet can hold runout to within a few thou at the nose — more than adequate for general milling, drilling, and light finishing work.
Retention Knob / Pull Stud Interface — BT30 holders use a metric M12 pull stud (retention knob) threaded into the top of the taper. The pull stud is what the spindle drawbar grips to retain the holder under cutting loads. Without the correct pull stud fitted, this holder cannot be used in an ATC or manual spindle — confirm your machine’s pull stud specification before use.
Compatibility — Fits any BT30 spindle machining centre (Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Brother, Mazak, and many others). Requires a BT30-spec pull stud (not included) and the appropriate ER32 collet for your tool shank diameter. The ER32 20–19mm collet included covers 19–20mm shanks, but additional collets will be needed for other sizes.
Ideal For — Running end mills, slot drills, drills, and reamers in a BT30 VMC; second-op work where a single flexible holder covers multiple tool diameters; low-volume jobbing shops wanting a cost-effective spare toolholder; hobby CNC operators with a small BT30 machine looking for an affordable working holder.

Condition

Used (Fair Condition / Well Used but Functional)

This holder has clearly seen regular service on the floor. The external body shows visible wear patina, surface oxidation, and discolouration consistent with coolant exposure and general shop use — as is evident in the product images. The flange face and taper bore show the kind of marking typical of a holder that’s been cycled through an ATC repeatedly. That said, the ER32 collet nut threads are intact and functional, and the holder is described by the seller as still fully usable. The BT30 taper itself — the critical seating surface — should be inspected closely before use: check for dings, raised burrs, or fretting on the taper bore that could affect seating concentricity. A light stone and clean with a lint-free cloth before first use is strongly recommended. Verify runout at the collet nose with a test bar or known-good shank and a dial indicator before committing this holder to any tolerance-critical work. For roughing, drilling, and general-purpose milling where a few extra thou of runout is acceptable, this holder will do the job without hesitation. The included ER32 20–19mm collet adds immediate usability for 19–20mm shank tooling straight out of the box.

Included:

1 x Vertex BT30 ER32 Collet Chuck
1 x ER32 Collet, 20–19mm (suits 19–20mm / approx. 5/32″ shank tooling)

Not Included: BT30 Pull Stud (Retention Knob) — required to mount in spindle and must match your machine’s drawbar specification. No collet chuck spanner/wrench included. No additional ER32 collets included.

Myford ML7 Cross Slide

Product Overview

The Myford ML7 Cross Slide is a genuine OEM casting and machined assembly sourced directly from one of the most iconic British toolroom lathes ever produced. Whether you’re rebuilding a worn ML7, restoring a cherished machine to working order, or sourcing a spare to keep a second lathe on the bench, this cross slide is a direct-fit replacement that retains the correct geometry, leadscrew mounting, and T-slot profile of the original Myford design. Genuine ML7 cross slides are increasingly difficult to source as parts supplies dry up — if you’re running an ML7 and need a replacement casting, finding an original is half the battle.

Correct ML7 geometry and dovetail profile — the cross slide dovetail is ground to Myford’s original specification, meaning it mates correctly with the saddle without the need for re-machining. Getting this geometry wrong on a substitute part means re-scraping or shimming to get the slide running true, so a genuine casting saves significant setup time.
Integrated T-slot for tooling and vice mounting — the milled T-slot running across the top face allows direct clamping of milling slides, small vices, toolposts, and other accessories — the same fitment that made the ML7 a versatile bench lathe for toolroom and hobby work alike. The T-slot profile matches standard Myford ML7 accessories.
Cast iron construction — the slide body is cast iron, which provides inherent vibration damping and wear characteristics suited to a scraping and fitting rebuild. Cast iron beds in better over time with proper lubrication, making a used casting a perfectly viable base for a full reconditioning job.
Gib screw bosses present — the casting retains its original gib screw locations, meaning the adjustment hardware is in place. A replacement gib strip will be required (see condition notes), but the boss geometry is correct and threads are present.
Ideal for — full ML7 lathe rebuilds, cross slide replacement after wear or crash damage, restoration projects where the original slide is beyond scraping, and sourcing a spare cross slide assembly for a second ML7 kept in a hobby or small production shop.

Condition

Used (Fair Condition / Serviceable for Rebuild or Reconditioning)

The cross slide surfaces show wear and handling marks consistent with a lathe that has seen genuine workshop use — this is a used casting, not a lightly run example. The top face and dovetail flanks carry the expected patina and tool marks of a working ML7 slide. Gib screws are present, which is a practical positive — these small fasteners are period-correct and often missing from stripped machines. However, the gib strip itself is not included, which is an important disclosure: without a gib, the slide cannot be properly adjusted for backlash and dovetail preload. A replacement ML7 gib strip will need to be sourced separately before the slide can be returned to service. The leadscrew nut location and T-slot appear intact from visual inspection, but buyers should verify dovetail condition and surface flatness against their saddle prior to final fitting. If you are undertaking a full scrape-and-fit rebuild, this slide is a sound starting casting. If you need a drop-in, zero-work replacement, budget for surface conditioning and a new gib strip. Verification against your existing saddle dovetail with a dial indicator and straight edge is recommended before committing to a fit.

Included:

1 x Myford ML7 Cross Slide (cast iron, used)
Gib screws (fitted)

Not included:

Gib strip (must be sourced separately)
Leadscrew and nut assembly
Handwheel and dial
Toolpost or any top-slide components

Brand Information

Myford Engineering, based in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, England, produced the ML7 from 1952 through to the early 2000s and the lathe became the definitive British toolroom and apprentice training lathe — the bench machine against which most small centre lathes in the Commonwealth were compared. Myford parts, particularly genuine castings, are regarded as the correct-fit solution for ML7 restoration and sit well above generic Far East pattern parts in terms of dimensional accuracy and material quality. The ML7 remains actively supported by a dedicated community of machinists and restorers across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and genuine OEM parts command a premium precisely because the machine is still in regular workshop use decades after production ceased.

Nisshin Point Finder SPF10 10mm

Product Overview

The Nisshin SPF10 Point Finder is a mechanical edge finder with a 10mm shank, designed to locate part edges and centre lines accurately on milling machines, machining centres, and drilling machines. Unlike a simple wobble-type edge finder, the SPF10 uses a spring-loaded contact tip that deflects both axially and laterally on contact — giving the operator a clear, tactile indication of edge position without relying on an electrical light signal alone. It’s a compact, repeatable tool that earns its place in the toolroom drawer for everyday workpiece setup.

Spring-loaded deflecting contact tip — The ball-ended stylus can depress axially and flex side-to-side under contact load. This dual-axis compliance means you get a positive, repeatable break-away indication whether you’re locating a vertical edge or probing a horizontal surface, reducing the risk of overrunning the edge and losing your reference.
10mm straight shank — Fits directly into any ER collet chuck, Weldon-flat holder, or drill chuck accepting 10mm shanks. No reduction sleeve required for the majority of benchtop and knee mills running ER16 or larger collet systems, keeping runout low by eliminating an adaptor in the stack.
Knurled body with tool-steel construction — The knurled grip body allows confident hand-rotation during setup and protects the internal spring mechanism. The ground shank and hardened contact tip maintain geometric accuracy over repeated use cycles.
Compatibility — Fits any milling machine, VMC, or drilling machine spindle that accepts a 10mm shank via collet or chuck. No additional accessories are required for standard use; a dedicated collet to match your spindle taper is the only consideration if not already on hand.
Ideal for — locating workpiece edges on a milling machine before zeroing DRO or handwheel dials, centring over scribed lines, establishing part datum on a vice jaw, four-jaw chuck centring on a milling table, and scribing-line location on a drilling machine.

Condition

(Used — Good Condition / Possibly NOS)

This SPF10 presents well for a used tool. The spring-loaded contact mechanism functions correctly — the stylus depresses under axial load and deflects side-to-side as designed, with positive return to centre. The 10mm shank shows the light machined surface typical of a tool that has seen spindle time: expect minor toolholder contact marks and a light patina on the shank surface, consistent with normal collet chuck use. These surface marks are cosmetic only and do not affect the shank’s ability to seat accurately in a collet. The knurled body is intact with no visible damage. The ball-ended contact tip appears undamaged with no visible flat spots or deformation that would compromise the contact geometry. As with any used edge finder, it is good practice to verify repeatability against a known reference edge before committing it to critical zero-setting work — run it in your spindle at the recommended RPM and confirm consistent deflection point across several passes before trusting it on a tight-tolerance setup.

Included:

1 x Nisshin SPF10 Point Finder — 10mm shank
1 x Original box / packaging
1 x Papers / manual

Not included: No collet, collet chuck, or spindle adaptor included. Collet to suit your machine’s spindle taper will be required if not already on hand.

Mitutoyo 125-150mm Micrometer 103-142

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo 103-142 is a 125–150mm range outside micrometer built to the exacting standards Mitutoyo’s Japanese toolroom instruments are known for. Designed for the mid-to-large diameter range where a standard 0–25mm mic won’t reach, this instrument closes the gap between a standard mic set and a large-bore application — making it the go-to on the bench when you’re measuring shafts, flanges, turned diameters, or bored components sitting in that 5-inch neighbourhood. Graduated to 0.01mm, it delivers reliable, repeatable readings that hold up in a production or toolroom environment.

125–150mm measuring range with 0.01mm graduation — That 25mm window covers a practical spread of shaft and bore diameters in the mid-large range. The 0.01mm (half-a-thou) graduation means you’re reading to a level of precision that satisfies most toolroom and production fits without needing a vernier attachment.
Hardened and ground anvil and spindle faces — Mitutoyo hardens the measuring faces on these instruments so they resist wear over years of regular use. A worn or pitted measuring face is the fastest way to lose accuracy in a micrometer; on a well-kept example like this one, those faces remain the ground reference you can trust.
Setting standard included (unused, wax coated) — Outside micrometers in this range cannot be zeroed against a closed anvil-to-spindle contact like a 0–25mm mic. The setting standard is the calibrated reference you need to zero the instrument correctly. The fact this one is still wax-coated and unused is a genuine asset — it hasn’t been knocked around or worn, so it remains a reliable ground reference for zeroing before use.
Ratchet thimble for consistent measuring force — Repeatable readings depend on applying consistent spindle pressure. The ratchet stop on this mic takes operator feel out of the equation, ensuring you’re not over- or under-loading the measuring faces — critical when you’re chasing tight tolerances on interference or transition fits.
Ideal for — checking turned shaft diameters and shoulders on the lathe, measuring large-diameter ground components on the surface grinder, verifying bored housing diameters, inspecting flanges and collars, and final-inspection checks on 5-inch-class components in a jobbing or toolroom environment.

Condition

(Used — Good Condition / Well-kept toolroom mic, setting standard unused)

The micrometer itself presents in genuinely good condition. The frame carries the expected patina of a used instrument — light handling marks and minor surface scuffs on the frame body consistent with bench use — but nothing that affects function. The measuring faces on the anvil and spindle are clean and show no visible pitting, scoring, or rounding that would compromise accuracy. The thimble turns smoothly, the ratchet engages cleanly, and the lock nut functions correctly. The original case is present but dirty — the plastic shell has accumulated workshop grime as storage boxes tend to do — purely cosmetic and easily wiped down. Critically, the setting standard remains in its original wax-coated, unused condition, meaning you have an uncompromised ground reference to zero this mic against before putting it to work. As with any used precision instrument, we recommend verifying the zero against the setting standard before first use and, if you require traceable calibration, presenting it to a NATA-accredited lab for formal certification. For general toolroom and production use, the condition of the measuring faces and the pristine setting standard give you a solid starting point for reliable measurement.

Included

1 x Mitutoyo 103-142 Outside Micrometer, 125–150mm, 0.01mm graduation
1 x Mitutoyo Setting Standard 125mm (No. 167-105 — unused, wax coated)
1 x Original Mitutoyo plastic storage case

Adjustable V Block

Product Overview

An adjustable vee block is one of those fundamental toolroom workholders that earns its place on the bench every single day — whether you’re grinding a shaft to size, inspecting roundness, or setting up a cylindrical workpiece for layout work. This example features a graduated angular scale engraved directly into the hardened steel body, allowing the vee angle to be set and repeated accurately across setups. It’s a practical, no-nonsense precision workholder built for the kind of repetitive, reliable use that toolmakers and fitters demand.

Graduated angular adjustment scale — The engraved scale running from 0° through to 60° (visible in the image) allows repeatable angular positioning of round or prismatic workpieces. This matters when you’re drilling radial holes, grinding flats at a known angle, or inspecting a part at a specific orientation — you’re not guessing, you’re setting.
Hardened and ground steel construction — The vee faces and reference surfaces are precision ground, giving you a stable, accurate datum to work from. Ground reference surfaces are essential when the block is used in conjunction with a surface plate or magnetic chuck — any deviation in flatness translates directly into error in your workpiece.
Adjustable vee opening — The clamping mechanism allows the vee to accommodate a range of round bar or shaft diameters, making this a versatile single-tool solution rather than a fixed-size block set. Fewer tool changes, less setup time.
Compatibility / accessory note — Suitable for use on surface plates, surface grinders, milling machine tables, and inspection benches. Pairs with a clamp bar or strap clamp for secure workholding. A matched pair is required for supporting long shafts end-to-end; this listing is for one block.
Ideal for — Grinding flats on round stock, drilling cross-holes in shafts, inspecting cylindrical runout on a surface plate, setting up camshafts or spindle shafts for layout, and supporting workpieces during scribing operations.

Condition

New Old Stock (Unused / Sealed in original plastic, stored in wooden box)

The seller advises this block has been sealed in its original plastic wrap and stored inside a wooden box — consistent with genuine NOS toolroom stock that was purchased, shelved, and never put into service. The plastic wrap is visibly intact in the product photograph, and the graduated scale face and ground surfaces show no signs of contact wear, scoring, or corrosion from use. The steel shows the characteristic light surface patina that is entirely normal for long-stored uncoated toolroom steel — this is cosmetic only and has no bearing on the flatness or accuracy of the precision ground surfaces. The adjustable mechanism has not been verified for function prior to listing, so the buyer should confirm smooth, backlash-free adjustment and zero the angular scale against a known reference angle before relying on it for critical work. Overall, this represents a genuine opportunity to acquire an unused precision workholder at a used-tool price.

Included:

1 x Adjustable Vee Block (hardened and ground steel, graduated angular scale)
1 x Allen Key to lock adjustment
1 x Original plastic protective wrap (as sealed, small rip)
1 x Wooden storage box

Not included: Matched pair block, clamp bar or strap clamps, certificate of calibration.

Brand Information

The brand markings on this item are not clearly legible through the sealed packaging at time of listing; the construction quality, hardened and ground finish, and graduated scale engraving are consistent with mid-tier Asian or Eastern European manufactured toolroom equipment commonly supplied into the Australian market through industrial distributors. Tools of this type and manufacture generally perform reliably for toolroom and workshop inspection use when verified against a known master on arrival. Buyers seeking a premium branded alternative should consider items from Mitutoyo, Starrett, or Moore & Wright — this block sits in the practical, value-for-money tier suited to trade workshop and home shop operators who want functional precision without the premium brand price.

Eisen Gauge 0.50-1.00mm Pins EP-0B

Product Overview

The Eisen EP-0B Pin Gauge Set covers the 0.50–1.00mm range in 0.01mm increments — 51 individual gauge pins in a purpose-moulded carrying case. Each pin is a hardened, ground cylindrical gauge of known diameter, used wherever you need a definitive go/no-go answer on a bore, slot, or hole rather than a dial reading you have to trust. For toolroom work, press-fit checking, reamer qualification, or verifying small CNC-bored features, a pin gauge set like this removes ambiguity from the measurement loop entirely.

0.01mm increment coverage from 0.50–1.00mm — Fifty-one steps across a critical small-bore range means you can pin a hole to its exact nominal size, not just bracket it. That matters when you’re qualifying reamed holes for dowel pins, checking pilot bore diameters before pressing in a bearing, or verifying a wire EDM feature against print tolerance.
Individual labelled pins in dedicated slots — Each pin sits in its own moulded slot with the size clearly marked on the storage block. No rummaging through a bag of loose pins mid-job; you pull what you need, confirm the size by sight, and it goes straight back to its labelled home. Keeps inventory checks honest and prevents mix-ups on the bench.
Hardened and ground construction — Pin gauges only hold their value as a reference if the measuring surface stays round and to size. Hardened pins resist the incidental contact wear that would quickly take a soft pin out of tolerance in regular shop use. Ground to a consistent surface finish, they’ll seat cleanly in a bore without false drag or slack.
Purpose-built carry case with moulded organisation — The rigid case with labelled grid positions means the set travels safely between the machine and the inspection bench without pins rolling loose or taking knocks. For a shop running multiple jobs, it also makes a quick visual audit dead easy — missing pin slots are obvious at a glance.
Ideal for: qualifying reamed and bored holes to dowel-pin fit, go/no-go checking of wire EDM slots and profiles, setting up small-bore air gauging, verifying drill and reamer sizing before committing to a production run, and checking nozzle or orifice diameters in pneumatic and hydraulic work.

Condition

New Old Stock (Unused / Original Packaging, All Accessories Present)

These pins present as unused. The set arrives in its original moulded storage case with all 51 pins present across the 0.50–1.00mm range, and all original accessories are included. Pin surfaces show no evidence of insertion wear, scoring, or contact marks — the ground cylindrical surfaces are clean and bright with no patina or corrosion visible. The storage case and individual pin labelling blocks are intact and undamaged. As with any NOS precision tooling that has been stored rather than freshly calibrated from the factory, verification against a certified ring gauge or optical comparator before using the set as a primary standard in a formal QA environment is a sensible first step. For workshop go/no-go checking, bore qualification, and toolroom reference work, these pins are ready to use straight from the case.

Included:

1 x Eisen EP-0B Pin Gauge Set, 0.50–1.00mm, 0.01mm increments (51 pins)
Original moulded storage / carry case
All original accessories as supplied by Eisen

Not included: Calibration certificate (recommend verification against a master ring gauge if formal traceability is required).

Brand Information

Eisen is a Japanese precision tooling brand with a long-standing presence in the Asian and export metrology market, producing gauge pins, plug gauges, and associated inspection tooling to Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). Eisen sits in the same practical tier as Niigata Seiki and similar JIS-compliant Japanese gauge manufacturers — a step below the top-end Mahr or Mitutoyo certificate-grade product, but well above generic OEM pin sets, with ground tolerances and hardened construction that make them credible workshop and toolroom references. Japanese manufacture remains a strong positive indicator for pin gauge sets, where consistent grinding quality and material hardness directly determine how long the tool holds its stated size in regular use.

Mitutoyo 150mm Vernier Neck Calipers 811-05.046 NT15-15

Product Overview

These Mitutoyo long-jaw vernier calipers are a specialist measuring tool built for reaching into deep recesses, slots, and step features that standard calipers simply can’t access. With a 150mm measuring range and 200mm jaw depth, they’re purpose-made for the kind of dimensioning work where jaw length is the limiting factor — think deep bores, long housings, or recessed shoulders on turned components. Japanese-made, vernier-graduated, and presented in their original Mitutoyo wooden case, these are a genuine toolroom-grade instrument at a used price.

200mm jaw length — the core reason to own these: Standard calipers top out around 40–50mm of jaw depth. At 200mm, these reach features inaccessible to conventional tools without resorting to a depth mic or inside mic setup. For machinists measuring deep bores, long spigots, or recessed grooves on turned components, that jaw reach removes a genuine limitation.
Vernier graduation — no batteries, no drift: Vernier-read instruments have no electronics to fail, no zeroing errors from a dead cell, and no concerns about capacitive scale contamination from cutting fluid. On the shop floor, that means consistent, repeatable readings that don’t require babysitting. The graduation on these is 0.05mm — adequate for the vast majority of fitting and turning work.
150mm measuring range with 0.05mm resolution: The 150mm capacity covers most general turning and milling work within the reach of the jaws. At 0.05mm (2 thou) vernier resolution, you’re reading to a level appropriate for checking fits, verifying stock dimensions, and confirming machined features before final finishing passes.
Original Mitutoyo wooden case with documentation: These come in their original fitted wooden case — not a generic foam-lined box. The inclusion of original papers and a calibration certificate means you’re getting a documented instrument, not an unknown quantity. For any workshop operating under a quality system, that paperwork has real value.
Ideal for: Measuring deep bore depths and recessed shoulder positions on turned components; checking spigot lengths and stepped shaft dimensions on the lathe; verifying deep slot widths on milling work; layout and inspection on fabricated components with deep internal features; any application where jaw reach — not measuring range — is the bottleneck.

Condition

Used (Good Condition / Functional Toolroom Instrument)

The measuring surfaces — both the jaw faces and the beam — present well, with no visible nicks, chips, or raised burrs that would affect contact or reading accuracy. The slide action is smooth and consistent across the full 150mm range with no detectable slop or binding. The vernier scale is clean and legible under normal workshop lighting. The beam shows the expected light surface patina consistent with careful bench use — this is a used instrument and it looks like one, but there’s nothing here that compromises function. The jaw faces, which are the surfaces that actually matter for accuracy, are in good order. As with any used precision instrument, we recommend verifying zero with the jaws closed and confirming linearity against a known standard — a set of gauge blocks or a calibrated reference piece — before putting it into production use. The included calibration certificate provides a documented reference point for that verification.Included:

Brand Information

Mitutoyo is the benchmark name in precision metrology — a Japanese manufacturer with over 90 years of production history and a product range that spans vernier instruments through to CMM systems and laser measurement. In the caliper and hand-tool segment, Mitutoyo sits at the top of the market alongside Starrett and Tesa, and their instruments are the de facto standard in toolrooms, quality labs, and trade schools across Australia. Japanese manufacturing origin is a genuine quality indicator here — Mitutoyo’s ground references, scale engravings, and jaw hardening are all held to tolerances that cheaper offshore alternatives simply don’t match.

Mitutoyo 300mm Digimatic Height Gauge 570-223

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo 570-223 Digimatic HDS Height Gauge is a 300mm capacity digital height gauge built for serious surface plate and toolroom work. Driven by Mitutoyo’s linear encoder technology, it delivers direct digital readout without the parallax error or interpolation guesswork of a vernier column — a genuine advantage when you’re scribing part datums, checking step heights on machined castings, or qualifying a batch of turned components against a drawing tolerance. This is a proper Japanese-made instrument, not a budget import, and it belongs on any bench where repeatable height measurement actually matters.

Linear encoder with 0.01mm resolution — The HDS series uses an electrostatic linear encoder rather than a rack-and-pinion potentiometer, giving you stable, drift-free readings as you traverse the column. At 0.01mm (roughly half a thou) resolution, you’re splitting tolerances that a vernier column can only approximate.
ZERO/ABS and PRESET functions — The ability to zero at any datum point or preset a target value means you can work directly in incremental mode off a machined shoulder or reference surface without resetting to zero every time — critical when checking multiple features from a single datum on a surface plate.
Granite-compatible hardened base — The cast iron base is precision ground on its underside to sit stable and square on a surface plate or master flat. A rocking or under-ground base is the primary source of height gauge error; the Mitutoyo casting geometry addresses this directly.
DATA OUTPUT port — The onboard OUTPUT button allows connection to Mitutoyo’s Digimatic interface (SPC cable, sold separately) for direct feed into a statistical process control system or PC logging setup — relevant for any shop running documented inspection routines or ISO 9001 QMS requirements.
Ideal for — Surface plate layout and scribing, incoming goods inspection on machined parts, step height verification on milled components, checking bore depths and shoulder positions on turned parts, qualifying parallels and angle plates, and setting tool height references in toolroom and gauge room environments.

Condition

Used (Good Condition / Workshop Patina)

This gauge presents as a used toolroom instrument that has seen genuine service. The digital readout head functions, and the Digimatic display, keypad buttons (ON/OFF, ZERO/ABS, PRESET, HOLD, +/–, OUTPUT), and thumb-wheel fine adjust all appear present and operable as visible in the product photograph. The stainless steel beam shows typical handling marks and light surface scratching consistent with regular bench use — this is cosmetic patina only and does not affect the accuracy of the linear encoder, which reads from the internal scale rather than the external beam surface. The scriber arm is present and appears to be the standard offset scriber blade. The precision-ground base shows no visible damage or significant wear that would compromise its seating on a surface plate. As with any used precision instrument, the buyer should verify the gauge against a known reference — zeroing against a calibrated gauge block stack or checking repeatability against a precision parallel on a surface plate is straightforward and strongly recommended before committing the tool to production inspection. If the application demands traceable calibration, budget for a NATA-accredited cal check after purchase.

Brand Information

Mitutoyo Corporation, founded in Japan in 1934, is the global benchmark in precision metrology instrumentation — the name sits in the same tier as Mahr, Starrett, and Brown & Sharpe, and in many product categories, Mitutoyo sets the standard those peers are measured against. Their instruments are manufactured to exacting tolerances in Japan and are found in toolrooms, gauge rooms, and on surface plates in precision engineering facilities worldwide, including throughout Australian aerospace, defence, and automotive manufacturing supply chains. Buying a used Mitutoyo is a fundamentally different proposition to buying a new import of uncertain provenance — the underlying instrument quality and part availability give it a long service life even after years of workshop use.

TC 2.00-2.50mm Gauge Pin Set TK-2A

Product Overview

This TC 2.00–2.50mm Gauge Pin Set (TK-2A series) covers a critical range of small-bore reference diameters in 0.01mm increments — 51 individual pins in total — giving you a complete go/no-go and variable inspection solution for tight tolerance bores, reamed holes, drill sizing checks, and fixture alignment work across the 2mm range. Housed in the original fitted case with individual labelled sockets, every pin is clearly stamped with its KM-prefix designation and nominal diameter, so there’s no fumbling on the bench during inspection.

0.01mm increment coverage from 2.00–2.50mm — In precision toolroom inspection, the ability to step through a bore in single hundredth-of-a-millimetre increments lets you determine actual hole size, not just pass/fail. That’s the difference between diagnosing a worn reamer and guessing at it.
Ceramic or hardened precision-ground pin construction — The white, cylindrical form of these pins is consistent with high-grade ceramic gauge pins, which offer superior wear resistance over tool-steel equivalents at these small diameters. Ceramic won’t burr, won’t corrode, and holds its ground diameter far longer under repeated insertion — critical when you’re working sub-3mm bores where even a few microns of wear invalidates the gauge.
Individual labelled sockets in a fitted case — A gauge pin set is only as useful as its organisation. Each pin returns to a dedicated, marked socket, eliminating mix-up between adjacent sizes (2.23 vs 2.24 is not a mistake you want to make mid-run). The foam-lined lid adds protection against impact during storage or transport.
Compatibility — These pins are used as hand-held or fixture-mounted reference gauges and require no additional tooling to use. They’re compatible with any standard go/no-go inspection workflow. A calibrated ring gauge set or setting master is recommended for periodic verification of individual pin accuracy.
Ideal for — Checking reamed holes and drilled bores in precision components; verifying CNC machining centre output on small-diameter features; sizing jig-bush and dowel-pin hole fits; inspecting collet bores and spindle tapers for concentricity fixtures; and toolroom first-article inspection where a CMM is unavailable or impractical.

Condition

Used (Good Condition / Partial Sealed, Remainder Inspected)

The majority of pins in this set remain factory-sealed inside their individual plastic containers — unused and in as-new condition for those sizes. A portion of the set has been used, but upon inspection those pins show no visible damage, chipping, burring, or surface degradation. The ground cylindrical surfaces are clean and intact, with no scoring or pitting that would introduce error into a bore measurement. The case itself is in solid working order — all sockets are present, the labelling is legible, and the foam lid lining is undamaged. As with any used gauge pin set, best practice is to verify individual pins against a calibrated ring gauge or optical comparator before committing them to tight-tolerance first-article work. For general shop use, drill sizing, fixture work, and go/no-go checking, this set is ready to go straight off the bench.

Included:

1 x TC TK-2A Gauge Pin Set, 2.00–2.50mm, 0.01mm increments (51 pins)
1 x Original fitted wooden storage case with individual labelled sockets
Individual pin containers (most factory-sealed)

Not included: Calibration certificate, setting ring gauges, inspection report.

Brand Information

The TK-series gauge pin sets bearing the KM-prefix pin markings are consistent with Eastern European or Asian precision metrology manufacture, positioned in the mid-tier of the global gauge pin market — comparable in construction philosophy to sets offered under generic toolroom supply brands across Europe and Japan. At the small-diameter ceramic gauge pin level, construction quality and ground accuracy are more meaningful buying criteria than brand pedigree, and this set’s ceramic-construction pins and systematic 0.01mm increment coverage reflect a genuinely toolroom-grade specification. Buyers accustomed to Deltronic, Meyer, or Glastonbury-Southern gauge pin sets will find the format and intent directly comparable, with the caveat that independent calibration verification is recommended for critical tolerance work on used sets from any manufacturer.

SK 2.00-2.50mm Gauge Pin Set AA-2A

Product Overview

The SK 2.00–2.50mm AA-Grade Gauge Pin Set gives you 51 precision ground steel pins in 0.01mm steps — the exact increment resolution you need when qualifying bores, setting plug gauges, checking reamer sizing, or dialling in fine clearance fits right at the lower end of the metric pin range. This is a toolroom-grade set built to AA/2A accuracy standards, meaning each pin is ground and lapped to within ±0.001mm of its nominal — the kind of traceable reference you can actually trust when a bore tolerance is ±0.005mm and you’ve got one shot at the fit.

AA/2A Accuracy Class — ±0.001mm tolerance per pin: The difference between an A-grade and AA-grade pin set is real when you’re checking a 2.10mm bore on a Swiss-type lathe or verifying the go/no-go status of a reamed hole. AA class means each pin is ground to within a micron of nominal — not just “close enough” but traceable reference quality suitable for inspection and production use.
0.01mm incremental steps across 2.00–2.50mm: Fine-step coverage across this range lets you walk a pin through a bore to find the actual size, not just confirm go/no-go. That’s the difference between knowing your bore is 2.24mm and only knowing it passed a 2.20mm pin. Useful for identifying tool wear progression or dialling in reamer geometry incrementally.
Knurled steel handles with engraved size markings: Each pin is fitted with a knurled grip body with the size etched into the top face — readable at a glance on the bench without needing to squint at a label. The handles also provide consistent grip force, reducing the risk of cocking the pin in the bore and getting a false reading.
Organised in a labelled plastic holder inside a timber case: The foam-lined timber box with individual labelled slots is not a luxury — it’s a calibration management tool. Pins stored correctly stay undamaged, and slots make it immediately obvious when one is missing. The original SK case is included with this set.
Ideal for: Checking small bore diameters on Swiss-type lathes and CNC turning centres, qualifying reamed holes in jig plates, verifying punch and die clearances, setting adjustable bore gauges, and inspecting small EDM-machined cavities where a dial bore gauge won’t reach.

Condition

Used (Good Condition / Partial Seal, 2 Pins Missing)

This is a used set in genuinely good working condition, with a transparent caveat: two pins are missing — 2.21mm and 2.49mm — and buyers should factor that into their application before purchasing. Of the remaining pins, a number are still sealed in their original factory plastic bags, unused and in factory-fresh condition. The used pins have been stored correctly — coated in protective oil and housed in the closed plastic holder inside the timber case — which is exactly how you want precision gauge pins stored. There is no sign of abuse, corrosion, or handling damage reported on the working surfaces. At this size range, a pin with a raised burr, a rust pit, or a rolled edge is useless; oiled, handled pins that seat cleanly in the holder suggest the set has been used by someone who understood what they had.

The absence of 2.21mm and 2.49mm is a real limitation if your work demands full sequential coverage across the range — for example, walking a pin set through a bore to find the exact size. If your application only requires spot-checking specific nominal sizes, or if you’re setting adjustable gauges at known points, the gap may be entirely irrelevant. Replacement individual SK pins can often be sourced separately if required. As with any used gauge pin set, we recommend verifying individual pin diameters against a calibrated reference — either a high-resolution micrometer with a calibrated anvil and spindle, or a benchtop comparator zeroed to a certified ring — before relying on the set for critical inspection work.Included:

1 x SK 2.00–2.50mm AA/2A Gauge Pin Set (49 of 51 pins present — 2.21mm and 2.49mm missing)

Marui Keiki SP-401 Single Protractor

Product Overview

The Marui Keiki SP-401 is a Japanese-made bevel protractor designed for precision angle measurement on the bench, surface plate, or machine. Built around a finely graduated dial and a stainless steel blade and stock, this is the kind of toolroom-grade instrument that earns its place alongside a surface gauge and a good straight edge. Whether you’re setting compound angles on a mill, checking taper work off the lathe, or verifying included angles on a formed cutter, the SP-401 delivers repeatable, readable results without the faff of a vernier protractor that has you squinting under a work lamp.

Circular dial graduation with magnifier-style readout — Unlike a traditional vernier protractor where you’re interpolating between two fine scales, the SP-401 uses a circular dial indicator-style readout that gives a direct, unambiguous angle reading. On the shop floor, that means faster setup and fewer misreads when you’re under time pressure.
Full 360° measurement capability via indexed blade and stock — The blade pivots through a full circle relative to the stock, letting you measure any included, complementary, or obtuse angle without repositioning the workpiece. That’s particularly useful when checking both faces of a dovetail or a chamfer in a single setup.
Stainless steel blade and ground reference stock — Both contact surfaces are ground stainless, meaning they sit flat and true against a workpiece without bowing or flexing under light clamping pressure. Ground references matter when you’re checking a 30° tool relief or a precision wedge — a soft or bowed blade will introduce error before you’ve read a number.
Clamp lock for holding a set angle — The blade clamps firm at any position, so you can transfer an angle directly to a workpiece, a sine bar setup, or a mill head without the reading drifting. Transferring angles is where a lot of cheaper protractors fall apart — the clamp here is positive.
Ideal for — setting compound slide angles on the lathe, checking taper and chamfer angles on turned or milled components, verifying tool grind angles (drills, form tools, end mills), setting a tilting vice or rotary table, and checking dovetail slides against nominal specification.

Condition

(Used — Good Condition / Pre-owned, fully functional, light bench patina)

Mechanically, this protractor is in good working order. The blade traverses smoothly through its full range, the clamp locks positively without slipping, and the dial reads cleanly without fogging, cracking, or parallax distortion to the face. The ground stainless surfaces on the blade and stock show the kind of light surface patina consistent with careful workshop use — there are no deep scores, dings, or edge damage that would compromise the reference surfaces or introduce measurable error. The dial mechanism engages and returns correctly, and the graduation markings are sharp and legible. As with any pre-owned precision angle instrument, it is good practice to verify the zero against a known square reference surface before putting it into critical work — confirm the blade reads 0° (or 90°, depending on orientation) when closed flat against a known ground reference such as a surface plate or precision square. This takes thirty seconds and gives you full confidence in the baseline.

1 x Marui Keiki SP-401 Single Protractor (bevel protractor with circular dial, stainless blade and stock)
Original wooden storage box

Brand Information

Marui Keiki (丸井計器) is a Japanese precision instrument manufacturer with a long history in the metrology and measuring tools segment of the Japanese industrial market. Japanese-made measuring instruments from this era sit in the same respected tier as Mitutoyo, RSK (Niigata Seiki), and Shintom — characterised by tight manufacturing tolerances, properly hardened and ground reference surfaces, and instruments built to survive daily toolroom use rather than sit in a cabinet. Marui Keiki tools are less commonly seen on the Australian market than Mitutoyo, which makes them a solid find for the machinist or toolmaker who values Japanese quality without the premium brand markup.

Fujita 200mm Machinist Frame Level

Product Overview

The Fujita 200mm Machinist Frame Level is a precision Japanese-made spirit level built for serious toolroom and workshop applications where a bubble tube and a good eye simply aren’t enough. Housed in its original timber storage case and accompanied by its Japanese manual, this is a purpose-built metrology instrument — not a builder’s level — designed to establish true horizontal and vertical references on machine tables, surface plates, and precision equipment. If you’re levelling a lathe bed, tramming a machine column, or aligning a surface grinder, this is the class of tool the job demands.

Frame-type construction with four ribbed cast pads — The recessed, ribbed cast-iron contact pads at each corner of the frame sit proud of the body, ensuring the level references from consistent, defined contact points rather than a broad flat surface. This matters when you’re working on a surface that isn’t perfectly clean or has minor surface variation — you’re measuring from controlled datum points, not averaging across a wide base.
Dedicated central vial with precision sensitivity — The longitudinal vial mounted at the centre of the frame is the primary measuring element. Japanese toolroom levels in this class typically carry vial sensitivities in the range of 0.02mm/m to 0.05mm/m per graduation, making them sensitive enough to detect the kind of twist or taper in a lathe bed that would ruin a turning job long before you’d notice it with a cheap level.
Robust storage and preservation — The original fitted timber case with form-cut interior padding keeps the level protected between uses and prevents the kind of knocks that can disturb vial sensitivity or introduce error into a precision instrument. For a used tool, the presence of the original case is a meaningful indicator of how the tool has been handled and stored.
200mm base length — A 200mm frame gives you enough span to span a lathe cross-slide or straddle a machine table way without being unwieldy. It’s a practical working size for bench and machine work — long enough to average out minor surface irregularities, compact enough to use in confined spaces.
Ideal for — Levelling lathe beds and checking for bed twist, tramming milling machine columns and tables, aligning surface grinder tables to true horizontal, setting up precision surface plates, checking machine way parallelism, and commissioning or relocating machine tools.

Condition

Used (Good Condition / Vintage Japanese Toolroom Level)

This Fujita frame level presents in genuinely good used condition. The ribbed cast contact pads show the kind of light patina and handling marks consistent with careful workshop use — no gouges, no chips, and no evidence of impact damage to the critical contact surfaces. The vial is intact, the bubble is present and moves freely with no visible contamination or sluggishness, and the frame is square with no visible distortion. The original timber storage case is described as being in great condition, and the original Japanese manual is included — both meaningful positives that suggest this instrument has been stored and handled with care rather than thrown in a drawer.

As with any used precision level, the recommended verification step is to perform a two-position reversal test on a known flat reference — place the level, note the bubble position, rotate 180°, and compare. If the reading reverses symmetrically, the vial is accurate to its graduation. If there’s any concern about absolute calibration, the tool can be zero-set against a certified surface plate or master level. The light surface patina on the casting is cosmetic only and has zero bearing on the measuring function of this instrument.

Included:

1 x Fujita 200mm Machinist Frame Level
1 x Original timber storage case
1 x Original Japanese manual / papers

Not included: No calibration certificate. Calibration against a known reference is recommended before critical alignment work.

Brand Information

Fujita is a Japanese precision instrument manufacturer whose levels and metrology tools have long been respected in toolrooms across Asia and exported internationally for professional machine tool alignment work. Japanese-made precision levels sit in the same market tier as RSK and Showa — brands whose vial sensitivity, casting quality, and overall build standard are taken seriously by fitters and toolmakers who understand what separates a measuring instrument from a hardware store bubble level. Japanese manufacturing provenance is a genuine selling point in this category: the combination of tight vial calibration standards and quality cast construction is a known quantity, and “Made in Japan” on a precision level carries weight in the same way it does on a Mitutoyo calliper.

Mitutoyo 0-150mm Micrometer 104-135

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo 104-135 is a large-frame outside micrometer set covering a full 0–150mm range via interchangeable anvils — purpose-built for toolroom and production environments where a single instrument needs to span a broad measurement range without sacrificing the sub-tenth accuracy that Mitutoyo instruments are known for. This is a proper bench tool: solid, calibrated, and backed by Japanese manufacturing standards that machinists and toolmakers have trusted for decades.

0–150mm range via interchangeable anvils — Rather than stacking multiple fixed-range micrometers on the bench, the 104-135 uses a set of setting standards and interchangeable anvil extensions to cover six 25mm ranges in a single frame. That means less capital outlay, less bench clutter, and one familiar feel across the full range — practical for a toolroom measuring shaft diameters, gauge blanks, or bore plug stock.
0.01mm graduation with a vernier thimble — The sleeve and thimble are graduated to 0.01mm, giving you reliable resolution for most production and toolmaking work. The thimble ratchet stop ensures consistent measuring pressure across readings, which directly protects repeatability — particularly important when measuring ground surfaces where over-tightening gives false lows.
Interchangeable anvil system with setting standards — Each anvil extension is zeroed against its corresponding setting standard (included), so you’re not relying on a wrung slip stack or estimation. This is the correct way to set a large-frame micrometer, and having the original Mitutoyo standards in the kit means the tool is field-ready without sourcing third-party references.
Solid cast steel frame with heat-insulating thimble guard — The large C-frame is designed with thermal mass in mind. The knurled insulating plates on the frame reduce heat transfer from your hands, which matters on a tool spanning 150mm — body heat across a large frame can introduce measurable thermal expansion that will throw your readings out at this level of precision.
Ideal for: Measuring large shaft diameters on a lathe, checking ground bore plug and ring gauge ODs, inspecting turned or ground stock before heat treatment, verifying disc brake rotor thickness in automotive machining, and measuring large die blocks or mould tooling components in a toolroom environment.

Condition

(Used — Good Condition / Japanese-made toolroom micrometer, complete with original accessories and setting standards)

This micrometer presents well for a used instrument. The frame carries the expected light patina and minor handling marks consistent with careful toolroom use — nothing that suggests abuse, impact, or improper storage. The measuring faces on both the spindle and the interchangeable anvils show no visible pitting, scoring, or flatness damage to the naked eye; they close cleanly without drag or slop. The thimble rotates smoothly, the ratchet stop engages with the expected positive click, and the lock nut holds position without creep. The sleeve graduations and thimble markings are clean and legible. Critically, the original Mitutoyo setting standards are present — these are the correct reference bars for zeroing each anvil range, and their inclusion means you can verify and set the instrument correctly before use rather than working on trust. As standard practice with any used precision instrument, we recommend zeroing each range against its setting standard before putting the tool into production, and verifying the 0–25mm range at closure as a baseline confidence check. If your application demands certified traceability, the instrument can be sent for formal calibration against NATA-accredited references.

Included:

1 x Mitutoyo 104-135 Outside Micrometer, 0–150mm, 0.01mm graduation
Full set of interchangeable anvil extensions (covering 0–25, 25–50, 50–75, 75–100, 100–125, 125–150mm ranges)
Mitutoyo setting standards (50mm reference bar and associated standards for each range)

Brand Information

Mitutoyo Corporation, founded in Japan in 1934, is the world’s largest dedicated manufacturer of precision measuring instruments and sits at the very top of the global metrology market alongside Mahr and Tesa. Their instruments are manufactured to exacting Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) and are the default specification in aerospace, automotive, toolmaking, and metrology laboratories worldwide. In Australian toolrooms, Mitutoyo is the benchmark brand — when a machinist says “the Mitutoyo says so,” the reading doesn’t get argued with.

Kato M12-27 MT4 Tapper

Product Overview

The Kato M12-27 is a Japanese-made synchronous tapping attachment designed to bring rigid, torque-controlled tapping capability to your drill press, radial arm drill, or machining centre. Fitted with an MT4 (Morse Taper 4) shank for direct spindle mounting, this unit handles the M12 through M27 tap range — a working range that covers the majority of structural and mechanical fastener tapping jobs in a production or toolroom environment. The Kato Tasper system uses a patented synchronous drive mechanism that compensates for feed/speed mismatch, protecting taps from breakage and producing clean, accurate threads without the operator having to manually reverse the spindle at depth.

Synchronous tapping mechanism with adjustable torque slip clutch — The internal slip clutch disengages drive when tapping torque exceeds a set threshold, preventing tap breakage mid-hole. This is what separates a proper tapping head from a simple rigid holder: broken M20 taps in structural steel are expensive; broken taps in blind holes in a finished part are a disaster.
MT4 Morse Taper shank — Mounts directly into any MT4 spindle without an adaptor. MT4 is common on larger radial arm drills, floor-standing pillar drills, and lathe centre tailstocks. The self-holding taper provides solid, concentric drive with no clamping hardware to set up or clock in.
M12–M27 tapping capacity — Covers a wide band of medium-to-large tap sizes in one unit. M12 to M27 spans light structural bolting right through to heavy mechanical assemblies, making this attachment genuinely useful across fabrication, maintenance, and production tapping work.
Collet-based tap drive with quick-change interface — Tap shanks are gripped via collets rather than a simple square drive or chuck, providing concentric tap retention and allowing rapid changeover between tap sizes. Two collets are included (see Condition section for sizes).
Ideal for — Production or batch tapping of M12–M27 threads in steel, aluminium, and cast iron on radial arm drills or floor drills; maintenance tapping in heavy fabrication shops; toolroom tapping of large-diameter holes where broken taps are not acceptable; any operation where the spindle does not have a built-in rigid tapping cycle.

Condition

Used (Like New / Minimal Use, Full Function)

This Kato M12-27 tapper presents in excellent used condition with clear evidence of very light or minimal prior use. The knurled adjustment collar and body show no meaningful wear — the knurling is crisp and the external surfaces retain their original machine finish with only the faintest handling marks consistent with storage and careful use. The MT4 taper shank is clean and free of visible dings, bruising, or fretting that would affect seating or concentricity in the spindle. The torque clutch mechanism engages and disengages positively, and the synchronous drive operates smoothly through its range with no roughness or play that would suggest internal wear. The collets show minimal contact marking — consistent with limited tap changes — and retain their spring function. The instruction booklet (Japanese language) is present and intact, and the original accessory packaging is included. There is no damage to any functional surface. As with any used tapping head, buyers should verify clutch engagement across the torque adjustment range before putting the unit into production, and confirm collet-to-tap-shank fit for their specific tap geometry. No calibration service is required for this tool type, but a quick functional test on scrap material before first use is always sound practice.

Included:

1 x Kato M12-27 Synchronous Tapping Attachment — MT4 Shank
2 x Collets (M12–M27 range — confirm exact collet sizes with seller prior to purchase)
1 x C-spanner for torque clutch adjustment
1 x Original Japanese instruction booklet / manual
Original accessory packaging / papers

Not included: Carrying or storage case (none observed). Additional collets outside included sizes would need to be sourced separately if a broader tap shank range is required.

Brand Information

Kato (カトウ工機 / Kato Koki) is a Japanese manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the tapping attachment and thread-forming tooling market. Their Tasper range of synchronous tapping heads is well regarded in Japanese and export production environments for precision engineering, build quality, and long service life — sitting in the same tier as Tapmatic (USA) and Emuge (Germany) in terms of engineering integrity and industrial reliability. Japanese origin is a meaningful quality indicator for this class of tooling: the machining tolerances, internal mechanism quality, and material selection are consistent with what you’d expect from a serious Japanese industrial tooling manufacturer, not a rebadged import.
