I agree with you Greg but if Ed wishes to keep his machines as clean as he does, then he needs clean scrap to begin with.

Nice score Ed!

I've grown up using both systems and have no major issues with either system

Same here. I never had any issues until some bright bulb in Japan decided to start using 11x1.5mm bolts in various places on their vehicles.

Ed and his dumpster.... you never know whats coming next. 

Not much but I did get a couple of 50A solid state relays I can use for my lathe VFD conversion.

Steve,

Those two rectangular things are parts made from CRS and zinc plated. I'm not sure I'll find a use for them but one never knows so I grabbed them. The rod is just a piece of SS shafting.

Ed - I've always been a big believer in grabbing (almost) anything that is going to be binned. The way I look at it is that if I can't use it, I can probably give it to someone else who can (and then they owe me a favor!). If worse comes to worse, I can always throw it in my scrap bins (if it is metal) or in the bin.

It's better that I bin it than someone else...

Hit the mother-load today. Two 3/4" aluminum (aluminium) plates, 18"x15".
