<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 368831, member: 54&quot;]Went back the next week and made offers on a few more items i can use.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Belt grinder, about 4’ tall, 500 lbs, 3 hp. I’m sure i can buy abrasive belts for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Arbor press, about 200 lbs, 30” tall.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Pair of heavy, steel-top tables, 3x3 and 4 x 5.5’ tops.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Pair of die -filing machines, both with problems, hope to make one good one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Left bids for sheet metal shear, brake, and nice vintage Craftsman drill press.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buying one of the tables also got me a 300-lb. cube of solid cast iron that was stored underneath, you just never know when the need for that may pop up and that’s around $800. Worth if bought new.</p><p><br /></p><p>Belt grinder on left, same idea as belt sander but made to work on metal.&nbsp; Cast iron block visible on lower right.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126569[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Two steel-top tables, smaller one upright inside larger one, inverted for&nbsp; the short trip.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126570[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Belt grinder as lifted from truck.&nbsp; Working close to roof of truck required an unusual method of rigging.&nbsp; Old forklift tines had to be locked so they’d stay apart a certain distance which was accomplished using the small “mover’s dolly” that happened to be nearby.&nbsp; Built-in fork locks don’t work anymore and owner (me) hasn’t gone to the trouble to fix them.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]126571[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
