I hit the jackpot today
#11
I hit a yard sale just 2.5 miles from my house today. OMG, the tools.

I got a Davis and Wells 6" long bed jointer, a Davis and Wells 12" table saw, a Progress Machinery 6" belt sander, plus a bunch of metal lathe accessories. It took me three trips to haul it all.

Wow! Nice haul.

Those are some interesting chucks, too.

There are some interesting lathe parts. There's a 6" Pratt-Burnerd metal lathe chuck, a 3" Delta faceplate, three arbors for a Delta wood lathe, a Rockwell 3 jaw chuck with a no.3 or 4 morse taper, and a aluminum rig that I have no idea about.

The table saw may be a 14", I haven't measured it yet. It has a 5 horse motor.

That is one huge score!

It's only a jackpot if you didn't pay much, otherwise, I could hit the jackpot at Grizzly and buy all that too- for a price.

That aluminum rig is interesting.

My first thought was some sort of gear puller or portable press. Then I saw the steel key.

I hope that someone recognizes it and tells us.

I managed to get the jointer cleaned up and put back together. It was a battle, dodged rain drops all afternoon.

Looks MUCH better now; the early pics looked like a pile of rust and pitting waiting for a month of rehab and frustration. Obviously, it was only light surface rust and some kind of "glazed" finish.

Good for you Steve, good for you
