Some old tools at the scrap
Stopped by the scrapyard today after work. No saws.
But I found a couple neat old tools lying around nonetheless. Didn't bring anything home though, might go back tomorrow.
No idea at all what this thing is! Some kind of riveter or something maybe? It's old, is all I know, and I love old tools, even if I'd never use it. The main base is broken in two, but I found the other part. It's cast, which isn't fun to weld, but I think I could do a decent enough job to make it whole again. Or I know a couple people who could do a better job for cheap, too. Could probably get it for $5 or something.
Not sure what this thing is either. Some kind of facing mill. The "wheel" has little carbide inserts in it, which you can see, and the table slides back and forth driven by a chain underneath the table.. It would take a bit to rebuild since the wheel is directly mounted to the shaft of the motor, but that's all that's there of the motor is the shaft; the coil and housing are broken away. It would have to be converted to a jackshaft and independent motor setup; looks like the old one was kinda specialized. I'm quite interested in this thing. No idea what for though, LOL, but I hate to see it scrapped. It's all in good shape but for the motor.
I dunno what this one is either, exactly. I should have taken a better pic of the top of it, but I wanted to get the model number etc.. It has a rail on top too, where the chain is that you can barely see, but whatever table etc. was designed to travel back and forth on it is not there anymore. Man I love big, solid iron tools like this, even if I have no use for them. Feel almost as bad seeing them get scrapped as I do about unwanted animals at the pound...
Great Collection.......
