Possible tool rescue this week...

[ZRX61]

Came across this today:

I'll be going back in the next couple of days to maybe get it.. I was also told there were "a couple of old lathes & mills in one of the sheds"

 

[selohssa]

Were they sending them for scrap?

 

[ZRX61]

Nope, but they don't want them...& then I came along..

Uhoh....

 

[ZRX61]

Uhoh....

Well, I did have a valid reason for being there...

You get to have too much fun.

That IS a valid reason.

Is that Aircraft cylinder Sun Valley? Bill Jones had the hangar next to me before he piled the T28 into the mountains.

A full, pic heavy restoration thread is warranted! Please provide!!

That is awesome. I ran one of those quite a bit when I was a kid. If you put it on high the thing would start to walk out the door. I bet it would have kept going until it unplugged itself. Is it 3-phase?

Ausome rescue you found yourself. What about the mills and lathes in the shed?

We would love to see some picture updates whenever you get to it.

Sad to say, but I have never run a power hacksaw and only seen one once in-person.

I'll be staying tuned to your restoration effort.

Is it just me, or is that propeller REALLY close to the flatbed?

The lathes had been heavily modified to do certain processes on radial engine parts

There was a small Bridgeport tho... I'll be keeping an ear open for that

Sawmaster is 110v

Prop is about 2ft from the bed of the trailer
