Y-axis STOPS for Clausing Mills. Did Clausing ever make such a Y-axis stop system for their mills? If so, I have never seen one. It is a great thing to have. I used the X-axis stop system all the time; finally I got around to making a Y-axis stop system. You still have full movement, but you may quickly adjust the stops to anywhere you want by pushing a button on the quick adjust nut and sliding the nut into position. You may also screw the nut into position. $300.
DUTCH HEMBRUG SK30 (or similar model) MILLING MACHINE HEAD or SPINDLE. I received an email from a Practical Machinist member with this link that shows a Dutch Hembrug A1 Milling machine fitted with an SK30 head that looks very much like this (see last image at this link). Another person said he thought it was for an FR1 milling machine produced by the AI Hembrug. I do not know what series of tools it is designed to accept. I would appreciate it if you would inform me if you know. I bought it from a Swiss Precision Instruments machine supply house after the owner had died and the business had been sold. It appears to never have been used. It comes with 2 new belts. I had to remove the cosmoline in order to photograph it. Yes, it is marked up, but that is from sitting on a shelf at the SPI dealer's shop and in my shop. I bought it because I recognized the potential it has used on virtually any vertical mill--in place of a less precise or a worn out head. Illustrated mounted on a mill table just in order to hold it in position to photograph it. The photo against the yellow background shows you everthing that is included: the head, 2 new belts, and the belt cover. Only one belt is required, so you will have a spare. NEW-OLD-STOCK. $500.
LEAD SCREW with NUT and CRANK. Someone in Australia told me that this is a cross slide screw from a Hembrug DR-1 lathe and that it probably also fits the A.I. Hembrug Dr-133. Another item purchased from an SPI dealer. Seems to be unused. Probably removed from a new machine in order to install a motorized drive. Overall length, 17.25". Length of ~5/8" diameter square threads is ~8". The divisions on the scale are .001". Each revolution of the crank is .125". The nut has 8X1.5mmp threaded hole. Note the spur gear just inside the crank. This is no doubt an European piece made for the American market. This certainly has possibilities in the construction of your own equipment. In fact, that is why I bought it; I may find a use for it. NO WEAR ON THIS PIECE. $250.
METRIC ARBOR ADAPTER, 15mm to 20mm. Another item purchased from an SPI dealer. Someone emailed: "This is for scripta single lip cutter grinder AL20, AL25 and AL34 . We sold scripta during mid 70's." Item is 33mm long. Flanges are 44mm diameter. Nut is 26mm. New-old stock. 3 available @ $65 each or 3 for $150. One assembled arbor adapter is illustrated behind a disassembled one.
BROWN & SHARPE #625 parallel guage. Newly cleaned and lubed; works smoothly. $50.
BROWN & SHARPE BENCH MICROMETER Designed to be screwed to bench. 0 to 1/2" capacity. Accurate to .0001". $60.
STARK 4 1/2 LATHE. 9" swing lathe with 20" + between centers. Great drive train with a 280 to 3500RPM variable speed drive with clutch and brake built-in. Ball bearing headstock. Set up to accept a thread chasing attachment. This lathe is listed on its own page: STARK 4 1/2 LATHE
220V SINGLE PHASE TO 220V 3 PHASE CONVERTER. This phase converter came with the above lathe. I did not have to buy the phase converter with the lathe. I could have bought the lathe for less without the phase converter. I did not need the phase converter because I have 3 phase power. The phase converter added a lot relatively speaking to the price of the lathe, but I bought it anyway because a lot of value has been added to the phase converter with the addition of the electrical box and the 3 phase socket and the labor that went into putting it all together neatly and professionally. If you need a phase converter, it will be equally valuable to you. $150 if purchased with the above lathe, $200 separately.
I recently moved all Hardinge lathes and accessories to their own page: HARDINGE & ELGIN BENCH LATHES and accessories
TROYKE 9" ROTARY TABLE with extras. USA made in Cincinnati Ohio. Included are keys on the bottom side to mate with the 5/8" wide slots on a milling machine table. These keys may be cut down to fit smaller slots. Also included are two 3.3" long T-bars to fit the T-slots in the Troyke. These T-bars may be used as is or converted to T-nuts. Also included is a round centering piece. A 9" rotary table is a good size for a Clausing mill; I am keeping one for my own use. $400
MASTERCRAFT REVOLVING X,Y T-SLOTTED TABLE. The table top is ~6.75" square. The base mounting holes are ~4 11/16" on center. The vise jaws are ~3X1.25". $100.
6" 4-JAW BURNERD SCROLL CHUCK. With inside and outside jaws. With a 3rd set of jaws. I plan to manufacture a series of wheel chucks that will mount onto this 3rd set of jaws. With chuck key. This bent chuck key did not come in with this chuck, but fits it well. With L00 backing plate mounted and ready to use. A scroll chuck automatically centers work. 4-jaw scroll chucks are rare. Because I frequently bore holes in square view camera lens boards that usually must be centered, a 4-jaw scroll chuck is a time saver for me. I sold my Clausing lathe, however, and cannot presently use this chuck. Hardinge commissioned Burnerd to make chucks. Burnerd chucks are at least as high quality as Buck chucks. I have now mounted this chuck on a Hardinge 5c taper spindle nose backing plate, so the L00 backing plate is available for $175.
6" 6-JAW BURNERD CHUCK. With inside and outside jaws. With chuck key. With L00 backing plate mounted and ready to use, $650. Note that the chuck key also has an allen key on one end of the T-bar for adjusting the chuck (probably) centering screws around the middle of the chuck body. Hardinge commissioned Burnerd to make chucks. Burnerd chucks are at least as high quality as Buck chucks.
7.5" 6-JAW BUCK CHUCK. Tru-adjust. With inside and outside jaws. Note the special feature of the inside jaws that allows you to hold a dime or even a smaller item. Without backing plate. With chuck key. See directly below for 2 backing plates available for this chuck. Great chuck in great condition. $800.
BACKING PLATE for above 6-JAW BUCK CHUCK. 7.5" diameter, 2 1/4x8TPI. Works with the Tru-adjust Buck Chuck. $125 when purchased with the above chuck or $175 separately.
BACKING PLATE for above 6-JAW BUCK CHUCK. 7.5" diameter, for Hardinge 5c taper spindle nose. Machined from a Hardinge hardened 9" faceplate; runs true and works with the Tru-adjust Buck Chuck. This backing plate works great with the chuck. $200 when purchased with the above listed chuck. $400 separately.
3" SKINNER LATHE CHUCK, inside jaws only, requires 1/4" square chuck key, backing plate with 1/2-13TPI threaded hole, Ex+, $80. The backing plate may be machined to fit your lathe.
LUFKIN INSIDE MICROMETER and BLADE SETTING DEVICE FOR PARKS THICKNESS PLANER. You will encounter situations where you need an inside micrometer such as this situation where I had to measure down inside this recessed lensboard. Also included is this jig I made for checking the height of blades on my Parks thickness planer--utilizing the micrometer head. This jig may be recut to fit the diameter of your thickness planer cutterhead if necessary. $200.
MACHINERY BELT LACING KIT, Manufactured by Clipper Belt Lacer Co., Inc., Grand Rapids, MI. For joining flat leather machine belts in such a manner that the joint may easily be separated, includes 4" capacity belt lacing machine, 12" of metal crimping, 12" of connecting rod. Photo is of cone head lathe flat belt joint made with such a lacing machine. This belt and joint has been in use for many decades. Pull out the pin between the joint and the belt may be easily removed and just as easily replaced. These must be somewhat rare today. If you still use flat belt drives as I do, I suggest you buy it. $100.
Belt dressing. It says on the can, "For all kinds of belts, V type, flat, round, rubber, leather, fabric and synthetics. Made by Beltraction Company." I photographed the back side of the can so you can read that too. Click on these thumbnail images to enlarge them. The quart can feels like it is about 80% full. I shook the can. It feels like a slightly viscous liquid. Someone has punched a hole in the lid and added a wood plug for convenience. You may apply this without removing your machine's belt. $35.
BELT TENSIONER FOR FLAT BELT DRIVE LATHES. Shown with a Hardinge Elgin lathe. Will work with other lathes as well. Should work with most lathes as is. I left the hardwood arm that holds the wheel long so that it may be repositioned for use on significantly larger lathes. The 1 11/16" wide steel wheel weighs 4# 10 ounces. It runs on 2 needle bearings on a shoulder screw shaft. Take a look at the lathe belt without the belt tensioner in use. I installed that belt myself. It is a new leather belt installed as tightly as I could manage on the fixed position cone head pulleys. Note how much the belt is further tensioned with the belt tensioner in use (the lathe wheels and belt are moving in this photo). The belt tensioner needs to be clamped to the tabletop to keep it in position. This belt tensioner dramatically reduces belt slippage and increases the driving power of flat leather belt driven lathes. I offer it for sale only because I can make another for my own use. The asking price will cover my time and materials. $350.
RUBBER FACE FOR YOUR LEATHER BELT. The leather belt on this lathe is decades old. A new leather belt would not perform any better. Adding a rubber face dramatically increased the driving power of this flat leather belt driven lathe. The leather provides the dimensional strength, the rubber provides the gripping strength. The 1/16" thick very sticky back rubber that I added to the inside face of the leather belt was designed for a totally different purpose. I had to order 200 linear feet minimum. Although my leather belt was properly sized for my cone head pulleys, there was plenty of room on the inside for this rubber. It was not necessary to remove the belt to install the rubber. It only took about 5 minutes to install the cut-to-width rubber. The rubber does a great job of reducing slippage and increasing the driving power of flat leather belt driven lathes. I offer it because I have some left over from the job for which I originally bought it. I can supply it in sizes up to 5" wide by most any length. I made a jig to cut it and I can cut it to width for you. The price for enough for your lathe will vary. If I can supply you with cut-offs (cut-offs are typically 2-4' in length and about 1-2" wide), you will save money. When I provide you with not cut-to-width rubber cutoffs, I do not charge for the extra width. Price for cutoffs is $.50 per square inch. Price for full 5" wide new stock is $.75 per square inch. $20 for cutting-to-width for smaller lengths, more for longer lengths. Order a little extra length to make sure you have enough; do not stretch the rubber. I recommend that the width be slightly less than the width of your belt; you do not want the very sticky back protruding beyond the edges of the belt. It does not matter if you use a Clipper belt lacer, a glued joint or hand stitching; I put the rubber right over the joint to give a continuous gripping surface and reduce noise. I have now added a rubber face to the above lathe; wow, what power!
Overhead line shaft drive system. The 1st 4 images are ones that were sent to me by the previous owner. I did not receive the wood pieces nor did I receive the electrical box and the diagonal supports, so those items are not included. The last 3 images were sent to me by another customer and are included so you can see other overhead drive shaft systems. The last image of a "Cataract 3 speed universal counter," from "The Cataract - Precision Bench Lathes and Attachments, Catalogue No. 15" is most like what I have, the essential difference being that one is designed to be wall mounted, the other table mounted. The 3 speeds come from the cone pulley. It is also called a "belt shifting mechanism." The fingers and the pairs of same size pulleys (one of each pair is fixed to the shaft and the other is free to turn) and the fingers which provide leverage for shifting the belts with a stick constitute the belt shifting mechanism. The main drive shaft was cut down to 23" long, so I am including a 38" stainless steel shaft of the proper diameter. There are 3 pairs of same diameter pulleys on the main drive shaft; each pair has one pulley fixed to the shaft and one pulley free to turn. The fingers, which are not very well illustrated, are used in conjunction with a stick to shift the belt from one pulley to another. The odd pulley at the end of the shaft drives the separate shaft that is used in conjuction with a grinding spindle on its own compound as seen in the illustrations from the Rivett catalog. What could you use this for today? It is designed to drive 3 separate machines and a grinding head from the one shaft, simultaneously or one at a time. Add a cone drive pulley for your cone head lathe if necessary. The main drive shaft is .875" in diameter. Some of us still use this older technology. It is simply functional to me, but virtually everyone who is invited into my shop from non-tool-hound type customers to old time machine aficionados to tool and die makers marvel at this technology from another era. The usage I listed is not the only usage for this overhead countershaft. In the early 1900's, very elaborate drive systems were commonly utilized. You will find some examples here $500
5" SET CROWNED PULLEYS. Cast iron. 5" diameter. One fixed pulley with 3/4" hole with set screw. One freewheeling pulley with 3/4" hole with Fafnir bearing. 1.5" wide. These would be used together in a "belt shifting mechanism" as described in the above listing. $225.
2 SPEED CROWNED PULLEY. Cast iron. 4.7" and 4.33" diameter. 0.71" hole with key slot and set screw. Each step 1" wide. $60.
FLANGED PULLEY. Cast iron. 5.25" diameter. 0.75" hole with key slot. 1.25" wide. 1.7" wide overall. 5.75" diameter overall. $90.
RADII CUTTER. The center height of the cutter above the compound is 1". Designed to sit in a T-slot that is 1" wide with a 1.375" wide T-nut locking plate; you may alter these to fit your lathe. Will cut both convex and concave radii. Accepts a 1/4" toolbit. $250.
Dumore Tool Post Grinder #44-011. Dumore Tool Post Grinders are the standard of the industry. Has 1.25" wide by 1/4" thick T-bolt for mounting into the compound T-slot. Distance from top of compound to grinder centerline is adjustable from at least 1-2". Fitted case. 5 pulleys, #1,2,3,4 and 5. Drive belt. Spindle wrench. Spindle collet to accept 1/8" shaft tooling. 1/4" shaft grinding wheel arbor. 2 grinding wheels included. Click on images to enlarge to see motor specifications and spindle speeds. $850.
Dumore Tool Post Grinder #77-011. Distance from top of compound to grinder centerline is 1.25" minimum. Drive belt. 1/2" shaft grinding wheel arbor. Dumore spindle is part number 7x-250. 2" and 3" diameter pulleys. I mounted this on a cast iron pedestal base. I do not have a large enough lathe to use it on, so I am using it with a wire brush and with a grinding wheel for freehand work. The wire brush, the grinding wheel, the work light, the Aluminum baseplate and the pedestal stand are not included. Altough it performs wonderfully for my needs, I am underutilizing this grinder. Buy it and put it to use on a large lathe as it was intended to be used. Click on images to enlarge to see motor specifications and spindle speeds. $800.
Tool Post Grinder. Very high quality ball bearing high speed spindle mounted on a plate designed to accept a small motor. Has T-shaped bar on the bottom to mount into the compound T-slot. Distance from top of compound to grinder centerline is 1.5". $250. This need not be used as intended. I have anther tool post grinder that I am using as a super high quality pedestal mounted grinder.
CRAFTSMAN 10" WET GRINDER. There is a brass quenching cup mounted on the front of the cast iron stand with a 3/8" thick 12X13" steel top plate. This is a work in progress. The grinder is not yet mounted on the stand. No motor is installed. I could mount the wet grinder on another stamped steel stand already set up with a motor in a matter of minutes, but it would be sacrilegious to do so. Also, this stand puts the grinder at ideal working height of about 40". $200 as is or $175 w/o the quenching cup, which is not needed with a wet grinder. I like this cast iron stand. You may have the stamped steel stand with motor illustrated below in its stead at the same price.
POLISHING LATHE. "Alternating Current Laboratory Lathe, The S.S. White Dental Manufacturing Co., Philadelphia, PA. This must be quite old when they specify "alternating current." Great old 2 position rotary switch. 3/8" shafts, one with a retaining end cap, the other with a tapered threaded nose that also serves as an endcap. Those levers just inside the endcaps are on high pitch threads to quickly release whatever is on the shafts. It still works great. 110V, 5.1 amps. Made in the USA. $100.
TOOL STAND WITH MOTOR. The craftsman 1/2HP capacitor start 115V, 7.3A 3450RPM motor is mounted on a plate with a hinge. The weight of the motor is used to maintain the proper tension on the belt. It was used with and performed well with a Darra-James 6" jounter. There is a 3" diameter pulley on the motor shaft. Quality push button switch on side of stand. Stand is 26" high with a 15X16" top. $110.
MORSE TAPER #3 SOLID CENTER. Does not and was not designed to revolve. 2.890" maximum diameter. $50
MORSE TAPER #3 SOLID CENTER. Does not and was not designed to revolve. 2.225" maximum diameter. $50
MORSE TAPER #3 SOLID CENTER. Does not and was not designed to revolve. There is an "N" in the trade mark, which is visible in the picture. Made in Japan. It is labeled "No. 2," however, it is a #3 shank. "U. S. A. Patent P. 480316" Diameter of 1st cylindrical step is .483". The diameter of the 2nd cylindrical step is 1.06". $60
MORSE TAPER #3 BALL BEARING CENTER. Revolves roughly. New bearing needed. Ideal Industries, Sycamore, IL. Type S. $20
MORSE TAPER #3 WITH TANG SOLID CENTER. Does not and was not designed to revolve. $40
MORSE TAPER #3 REAMER. $10
BED STOP for Clausing 5900 series Lathe, will no doubt fit other lathes with a similar bed, with threaded screw stop, Ex, $100.
Adapter for use with Hardinge steady rest or center rest or some other Hardinge component and an unknown 8" or 10" lathe. I provide dimensions so you can determine if it is for your lathe. This Hardinge steady rest is for a 9" lathe, so a 1/2" adapter makes it suitable for a 10" lathe. If you are using it to adapt a Hardinge steady rest for a 7" lathe, then it would bring the center height up to 8". Well made of aluminum. The steady rest is listed on my HARDINGE & ELGIN BENCH LATHES and accessories web page. Adapter, $50
SPI QUICK CHANGE HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE TOOLHOLDER FOR LATHE COMPOUND. Purchased from a Swiss Precision Instruments dealer. I used one like it on a Clausing 5914 12" lathe; that one was sold with the lathe. This one is unused. It comes with all the accessories illustrated--3 round boring bar holders and 2 universal rectangular toolholders, extra adjusting screws, extra compound keys. The 1st image shows the top side; the 2nd image shows the bottom side. The height of the main body is 46mm. The width of the keys is 14mm. One boring bar holder accepts 17mm diameter shafts. Another boring bar holder accepts 19mm diameter shafts. The open slot toolholders accept 17mm high tools. VERY HIGH QUALITY! ROCK SOLID! The only play will be in your lathe compound. I used it with an about 1/2" spacer between it and the compound that allowed me to rotate it at will. Without a spacer it is probably ideally suited for a 10 to 11" lathe. Although it would work with one of my 9" Hardinge lathes, it would be overkill. $300
EMPIRE TOOL CO. A-36 CUT 0FF TOOL HOLDER + CUT OFF BIT for lathe. Fits into a 3/8" wide slot. T-bolt bottom is 5/8X3/16". $125.
SET OF 4 LATHE TOOL BIT HOLDERS: 2 straight, one left hand and one right hand. Right hand labeled "J.H. Williams, USA, TH-I-R." Left hand labeled "J.H. Williams, USA, TH-I-R." Armstrong straight labeled "Armstrong tungsten carbide tool holder No. T 1-S." Other straight is not labeled. All have shanks 1 1/8 to 1 1/4" high. All accept 5/16" square tool bits. Set of 4, $100.
TINY LANTERN STYLE TOOLHOLDER. It is the one on the left. On the right is a standard Hardinge toolholder. Will accept toolholders with a maximum width of 5/16" and a maximum height of about .675". The part that goes into the T-slot is 1.025X.875X.190." It will fit into a Hardinge compound; perhaps it was made for a 3c or 5/4/3c 7" swing lathe compound. None of the lathe tool bit holders I have fit into this toolholder. $40.
RIGHT HAND LATHE TOOL BIT HOLDER: Labeled "Armstrong, Chicago, USA, No. 00-R." Accepts 3/16" square tool bits. 3/4" tall shank. $25.
CARBIDE CUT OFF TOOL BITS. Labeled "Kennametal K6 CT 122." Cuts 0.190" thick kerf, 0.840" deep. Shank is 1" tall, .5" wide. 2 for $100.
SPI TOOLING. SPI 80-573 9. Cut off tool or grooving tool. Cuts 0.040" thick kerf, 0.160" deep. Shanks are 3/8" high. I like that because I mostly use 3/8" tooling with my Hardinge lathes. I do not have to change the height on the toolholder when switching from a boring or facing operation to a cut off operation. NEW-IN-BOX. I bought a box of 12 to get several for myself. I have tried one on steel; SWEET! $20 each to a maximum of 10.
TOOLHOLDER for 1/4" toolbits. Labeled "R.W.Z." 5/8" tall shank. $25.
Circular form tool cutters. These can really speed up your work. Grind your circular form cutters to the profile of your choice and go to work. The particular cutters installed on these are included with them; these cutters are both labeled 1/2-13 and are no doubt are for cutting threads--perhaps Acme or square cut threads because they are not ground to a point. The cutters themselves are worth the price if you can use them; they are no doubt factory made. Look at the base: they are designed to be adapted to whatever you wish with user made custom plates like the one you see on the right. T-bolts included. $50 each.
Tailstock turret tooling. 5 pieces total; all 5 shown in 1st image. Closeup photos in other images. $50
WW collet with drawbar. I do not know what lathe this is for so I give you the dimensions. Probably for Levin lathe or some other miniature jeweler's lathe. A watch and clockmaker said, "I think it is for a 10 mm lathe. It is for sure for a ww watch makers lathe." Impossible to find by itself. $150
Meyers RadiForm Wheel andTool Former. With instruction book. Includes diamond dresser for shaping grinding wheel. Allows straight, angled, concave, convex, even more complex wheel and tool forming. With diamond pointed tool, and another piece like the one at the top of the column. Wheel and Tool Former by W. F. Meyers Co., Bedford, Indiana. Could also be used as a radius turning attachment for a 12-14" lathe. $300.
JIG AND FIXTURE DESIGN (BOOK). Edited by Edwin Jones. Lost technology series, copyright 1984. Original copyright 1920. 326 pages. Jigs and fixtures are underutilized today. Jigs and fixtures can save you lots of time and free up your valuable resources like milling machines for other work. Set up a jig for a particular operation and then perform that operation on a drill press. $20 with one of the below fixture jigs or $30 separately.
Medium fixture jig or pump lock jig. Clamping range about 3.9 to 5.9". There are 5 factory made holes that will serve as drill guides + 2 reducing drill guide bushings installed in the top. There are numerous holes in the base that held various work positioners; these may be reused by you with your custom made work positioners. You can do small work on a larger fixture jig by using spacers. Quality construction in good working condition. $150.
Large fixture jig or pump lock jig. It is buried at the moment. Will list details and photos as time allows. You can do small work on a larger fixture jig by using spacers. These fixture jigs are just the basic shell of your customized jig; you must complete them for your particular use. The SWISS MADE REGLUS UNIVERSAL DRILLING JIG was the ultimate fixture jig; that was sold, but I still have some literature on it listed at the bottom of this page. The Reglus sold for more than many milling machines sell for. If you utilize them well, fixture jigs can be most valuable. I highly recommend you buy the book listed above with a fixture jig. $350.
DELTA 14" WOOD or METAL cutting BANDSAW, Delta, Milwaukee, serial #29-9466, 1944 model, cast iron base, quick change gearbox, wide speed range (112 to 3018 feet per minute), will cut steel, Aluminum, and wood, several blades, 3/4HP 110/220V, tilting table, accepts Delta miter guage and fences, do not compare the price of this metal cutting bandsaw with the price of a wood cutting bandsaw, if you only want to cut wood buy a wood cutting bandsaw, expensive gearing is required to provide the slower speeds necessary to cut metal as well as the higher speeds required to cut wood in the same bandsaw. Included is a copy of a 1937 Delta book, "Getting the Most out of your BAND SAW AND SCROLL SAW." Note the paint job. This was in a commercial shop and painted to meet OSHA requirements. It had seen a lot of use already when I bought it about 20 years ago. I have used it a lot since. It has another 65 years of life left in it. $1000.
DELTA 14" WOOD or METAL cutting BANDSAW, Delta, Milwaukee, serial #39-8098, 1938 model, open steel frame base. Please read the above listing for general information about wood and metal cutting bandsaws. Included is a copy of a 1937 Delta book, "Getting the Most out of your BAND SAW AND SCROLL SAW." See photo of book above. I bought this in need of work for less than the gearbox was worth; my initial intention was to sell it for parts. It came out of a former metal shop that was now a scruptor's studio. The sculptor bought the building complete with the machine shop full of equipment. There was also a larger and much more modern and professional DoAll bandsaw in the shop that obviously had replaced the Delta. This old Delta had not been used in many years. When I got it to my shop, I looked it over carefully noticing that it showed very little wear, made some tests and decided it just needed a few parts and a tune up. I could probably have made more money selling the parts without any more investment of time and money, but having so much respect for these old machines, I decided to put it to use. Now I have one saw set up for cutting steel and the other set up for high speed cutting. There is some time and effort required to change over; you have to change blades, V-belts, shift gears and make sure the blade guides and bearings are properly adjusted and that the blade is tracking properly. I installed over $200 worth of new parts, rewired, cleaned, lubed and adjusted the bandsaw. It is running extremely well. The 1st thing I did was install an adjustable height foot. A 4-footed machine seldom sits without rocking, this one included. With the adjustable height foot, it now sits more solidly than does the cast iron bandsaw above. The 1/3HP motor may not impress you, but being an older one, it is plenty powerful enough, and being a practical guy with too little time and too much to do, I left well enough alone. The motor is easily changed out anyway. The industrial quality electrical boxes and switches installed on this machine are ready to accept a much larger capacity motor. I have other motors on hand, including Delta motors and even Delta bandsaw motors. Note the extension to the front of the table, the new urethane tire, the new table insert, new table trunions, new blade guide bearings, upper blade guide castings. A belt for use with the high speed 8" driven wheel is included, but cannot be installed simultaneously with the low speed belt. $800
Upper front blade cover for Delta 14" wood or metal cutting bandsaw. Delta/Milwaukee logo. I also have one in about the same condition with the Delta logo for the same price. I bought an upper and lower set of front blade covers in order to get the lower blade cover, so the upper is excess to my needs. Solid, but in need of repainting. $50.
DELTA BALL BEARING DOUBLE DUTY MOTOR: 3/4HP, 3 PH, 220V/440V, 1725/1425RPM, 2.1/1 AMP, 3/4" keyed shaft, 176 frame. I bought this from someone who drove in with a very late model wood/metal cutting bandsaw that he wanted to trade for the bandsaw above with the cast iron base. I thought that foolish and talked him out of it. I bought his 3 phase motor because he did not have 3 phase. I have 3 phase and would gladly use it, but my bandsaws have good working motors, and they ain't broke, so I ain't gonna swap motors. This need not be used on a bandsaw. Use it on whatever the specifications will work with. Tested. Works well. These older motors are really well made and long lived. Motor plates with wiring connections are great to have; not all motors have this info. Made in USA. $150
DELTA MOTOR: 1/2HP, 3 PH, 208-220V/440V, 1725/1425RPM, 5/2.5 AMP, 3/4" keyed shaft, C66Y frame. Includes push button start/stop switch and reset switch in box. I sold the drill press to someone who needed a single phase motor. Tested. Works well. I made notes of what color wires go to what terminals on the start/stop switch. Motor plates with wiring connections are great to have; not all motors have this info. Made in USA. $150
DELTA MOTOR: 1/2HP, 1 PH, 115V/230V, 1725RPM, 7.8/3.9 AMP, 5/8" keyed shaft, 48Y-5 frame. I bought this from a friend who said it came off of a bandsaw. It is presently in use on my thread cutting lathe. Tested. Works well. I am willing to sell it because I can install any of a number of other motors on the lathe. Motor plates with wiring connections are great to have; not all motors have this info. Made in USA. Motor only, $100. Motor with reset switch and on/off switch, $150
Motor with reversing switch and foot switch. This came in with an old Hardinge cataract bench lathe with thread chasing attachment mounted on the bench illustrated above. It works well enough for the size threads that this lathe was designed to cut. I made a custom tool holder to cut larger diameter threads which required more power, so I replaced this 1/3 HP motor with a 1/2 HP motor. I had another reversing switch and foot switch, so I left this motor set up with reversing switch and foot switch for you. It is a lot of trouble to wire a motor with reversing switch. Every time I do it, it takes me a lot longer than I expect; it always seems like one more switched line in the reversing switch is needed--until I figure it out anew. Some motors are not even reversible. This one is all set up and ready to roll. The motor has a 1/2" shaft. The motor is 115V AC, 1725 RPM. Motor by itself, $75. Motor with reversing switch, $180. Motor with reversing switch and foot switch, $200. A 3-prong to 2-prong adapter is included with the foot switch. The foot switch is extremely convenient for use with any lathe; it is virtually necessary for use with the Hardinge thread chasing attachment because you cut outside threads running in reverse. The foot switch and adapter are available separately for $25.
BALDOR 1.5HP MOTOR, 1 PH, 115/208-230V AC, 15/7.9-7.5 amps, 3450RPM. I bought this new and used it for a short period of time. Very strong running motor. 5/8" keyed shaft. Built-in cooling fan. Pulley not included. Made in USA. $150
HILD FLOOR MACHINE 3/4HP MOTOR, 1 PH, 115V AC, 9 amps, 1725RPM, Model GHP-18. Very strong running motor. 12mm keyed shaft with 28mm diameter, 18mm long helical gear included. Drops into 7.750" hole. Built-in cooling fan. Made in USA. $80
LELAND 1/2HP MOTOR, 1 PH, 115/230V AC, 7.6/3.8 amps, 1725RPM with built in heavy duty switch. I used one just like it for years, then sold it with the lathe I used it with. Very strong running motor. 5/8" keyed shaft. Clockwise rotation only. Pulley not included. Made in USA. $80
5000RPM BODINE MOTOR with 288:1 speed reducer: 1/80HP, 1 PH, 115V AC or DC! .48 amps, 17.4RPM after speed reduction gearing. This was used to turn a heavy 3' diameter chrome plated drum used to dry glossy photo prints. I used such a device in the last century. It was variable speed. I connected this motor to a variac; it does indeed function as a variable speed motor. One of the brushes is missing an end cap; the brush is held in place with duct tape; simple repair that works. A threaded end cap is required for a proper repair. Made in USA. $80
1125RPM BODINE MOTOR with 288:1 speed reducer: 1/150HP, 1 PH, 115V AC, .52 amps. 5/16" diameter shaft. Made in USA. $30 The accessories someone added to the motor, the 1/2" diameter mounting post and the chuck, are an additional $20.
CRAFTSMAN 18" THROAT SCROLL SAW 103.23151. 1/6 hp (plenty of power), 1725RPM, 115V motor, very smooth and quiet running. Tilting table. Tilting lower blade guide. Adjustable blade guides underneath and above the tabletop help in making very accurate cuts. The upper and lower blade clamps have 2 screws each; this allows you to center the blade more perfectly. The saw accepts 5" standard scroll saw blades, jeweler's saw blades, jig saw blades, and files. The over arm may be removed to facilitate use as a jig saw or die filer. Mounted on steel stand with casters. I use this occasionally; it works extremely well--as well as you set it up and use proper technique. It will cut 3/4" plywood just as well as thin metal stock. In order to make cuts as accurately as illustrated, I had to use a binocular magnifier just to see well enough! The Robust construction and the hold down foot dampen vibration so that you can see well and work accurately. You may turn the blade clamps 90+ degrees in order to cut at right angles to the C-frame. Incredibly well thought out machine design. Instruction manual and parts list and a dozen blades included. $250.
CLAUSING 20" DRILL PRESS. Model 2225, older higher quality, all cast iron floor model, 5 speeds, crank rise table, production T-slot table 20X22", T-slot base 18X26", Dayton 3 hp, 3ph 230V motor, 6" spindle travel with adjustable locking stop, #3 Morse taper, 3/4" jacobs chuck, chuck key, drift pin, very smooth and quiet running. Great drill press. I am deciding between selling this or a 20" Clausing. I will offer both and keep the one remaining. 4 T-bolts included. $1200 Deduct $150 if you do not need the chuck. The monster centering vise on the table is not included; I just did not want to move it.
DELTA 17" DRILL PRESS, Delta, Milwaukee, serial #49-6009, older higher quality, all cast iron floor model, 5 speeds, crank rise table, tilting table, Delta 1/2 hp, 1725RPM, 115/230V, front rod connects to rear switch, one owner until I purchased it upon that owner's retirement, always used at slowest speed, 5" spindle travel with adjustable locking stop, #2 Morse taper, 1/2" jacobs chuck, chuck key, drift pin, belt cover, work light, very smooth and quiet running, you couldn't trade me a brand new one for it. Great drill press. I am deciding between selling this or a 20" Clausing. Probably I will offer both and keep the one remaining. Wanted for this drill press: Foot operated quill accessory. Quill arm. Quill arm knob. See photos. $1000
DELTA 14" DRILL PRESS, Delta, division of Rockwell, Milwaukee, serial #74-1067, older higher quality, all cast iron benchtop model, 4 speeds, manual rise table, tilting table, Dunlap 1/3 hp, 1725RPM, 115V, foot switch, 4" spindle travel with adjustable locking stop, 1/2" jacobs chuck, chuck key, belt cover, work light, very smooth and quiet running, Ex+, $200
WORKBENCH LEGS. 32" long legs, with eight 22.5" L-strips, plastic leg tips and set of nuts, bolts and washers. 2 galvanized and painted legs only. Use for a table that is attached to the wall at one end. Use for a tablesaw extenstion. $20
MECHANICAL MULE, heavy equipment mover, pallet mover, hand operated, steel wheels, easily ~2000# capacity, weighs about 200#, ~24x24" platform can easily be enlarged if needed, ~7" high, with articulated pull handle that when pushed down raises up the platform ~2", foot release lever lowers platform, Ex, $300. I needed it recently when I sold a 1500# saw that had to be moved from my shop to the garage for pickup. I photographed it in use. I could not get the saw through the door between the shop and the garage. I had to take it out the front door and through the alley with a rough surface. With those large steel wheels, it rolled very easily.
PORTABLE WALK BEHIND ELECTRIC FORK LIFT and DIE LIFTER, labeled "Economy Hydraulic Worklifter," with a 12V battery purchased new 11/07, about 1/2 ton capacity. I have used it little and have maintained the battery. It has forks and a platform that you may slip over the forks to convert it into a die lifter. There is a quick set and release locking foot. There is a cover over the rear. Platform size 25" square. Lifting range 6" to 56". $600. Also available is a BIG JOE walk around fork lift, which has had the battery powered motor and battery removed and replaced with a 110V AC electric motor, $250.
Starrett 3" travel dial indicator, 3.5" diameter main dial, 2 smaller dials, by .001", Mint-, $75
MAGNETIC CHUCK, 110V, with power supply, 5X10.25" top plate, 4" high, Magnalock HR510C, with slide up stop bar, powerful, Ex, $250. In addition to an on position the power supply has a release position, which demagnetizes the item before you release the part. Illustrated mounted on a surface grinder. As with many of the tools on this list, it is currently in intemittant use. Power supply remotely located, included, but not illustrated.
BRIDGEPORT 6" VISE. I bought this at auction of an old time American company in the early 1980's. It was billed as a "Bridgeport vise" because it was used on one of the many Bridgeport milling machines at the company. 6.064" wide X 1.625" high hardened jaws open to 7 13/16". The included handle is labeled "Williams." The vise is not labeled; it is well designed, very high quality and is no doubt American made. Old timers will probably recognize it. Vise may be mounted vertically--providing much more versatility. It is kind of like having 2 vises in one. $400.
MAGNETIC CHUCK, 110V, with power supply, double sine bars for compound angles, MagnaSine model A5 by Robbins Engineering Co., 4.5X7.125" top plate w/slide up stop bars, tremendous holding power, Ex+, $600
CENTERING VISE. Rotates. Jaws are reversible. With accessory jaws that allow you to hold up to 12.875" wide work piece. With handle. The drive shaft is 1" square. Illustrated on a Clausing 20" industrial drill press table. The vise is too heavy for me to want to remove it to photograph it on a plain background. Vise probably weighs about 150#. Again, it is too heavy for me to care to remove it to weigh it. Also, it is in position to be used. I do use it occasionally. A centering vise can be very useful. Center it once and forget about it. I use it to bore large diameter centered holes in square mahogany lensboards. I now have another machine that will serve me as well for this task. It is not badly rusted. There is just a slight surface rust that will readily clean up. There is also some congealed oil and some mahogany dust on it. I do not find a name on it, but it is extremely well made. It is an older piece probably made in the USA. Each of the univeral jaws underneath the reversible jaws has a serial number and each of the jaws is individually adjustable. This is a very high quality vise. It is also quite unusual. I have never seen anything quite like it, but then it is definitely out of the small shop league. This is a serious industrial piece of equipment. I added some images of an 8X8" mahogany lensboard being bored on it; the clamps hold a backing board in intiment contact with the back of the lensboard to prevent tearout. $700
QH125 NANJING ROTATING VISE 4" wide by 1.75" high jaws open to 4" wide, marked in degrees with 2 substantial locking bolts for rotation, 2 slots for bolting to table, 2 keys to fit 9/16" milling table T-stot, weighs 47#, very high quality, I have used it once or twice when I needed the extra capacity, but it shows no wear, $175. Note that there are also 2 bolt slots at either end of the upper half of the vise, so that you could bolt the upper half by itself to the milling table in case you needed a lower profile vice.
QUALITY SWIVELING MACHINE VISE FOR SMALL MILL. Wrench is labeled Armstrong; no name on vise. It is no doubt an older American made vise. The swivel is smooth with neatly engraved degree scale and center position on both sides. 4" wide jaws are 1 7/16" to the shelf in the jaw faces, 1 9/16" to the top of the jaws. Jaws open to 2", 2 1/8" above the shelf. The T-slot keys are 7/16" wide; you may make new ones to fit wider or narrower T-slots. Weighs 17#. $150
WILTON VISE. A truly universal vise. Designed for use with flat or round metal or wood held horizontally, vertically or at any angle. The hefty mounting block rotates and locks. The woodworking jaws are 5X7" in size with a built-in a retractable dog and are designed to have 1/2" wood faces attached to them with screws. The metal working jaws are 4" wide with pipe jaws beneath them. The jaws open to 5.5". Substantial! Weighs 41#. Mount this on the underneath side of the workbench so that the top of the woodworking jaws are flush with the workbench top. When I needed to neatly bore some properly aligned holes in the ends of some 30" long tripod legs, I found this vise to be a better choice than any of the 8 or more machine vises I own. Again I found this vise the best choice for a boring operation on the Clausing Mill, so I have taken the vise off the market. I leave it up for your information. BTW, does this not speak highly of the versatility of the Clausing mill?
"CAHER RIMAN CHICAGO vise. Patented Oct 27, 1903, No. 10". 10" wide jaws open to 12+". 4.5" high jaws. This vise has a quick release feature; you may open it any distance in a flash. Another Chicago made vise; in the past we made many things in Chicago. This vise has been in constant use. I bought it from a century old Chicago hardware store that closed when the city condemned an area for redevelopment that never materialized. I bought it about 20 years ago and have been using it ever since. It has a few more years of use left; it will probably outlive me. I am not going to remove it to weigh it; I guess it weighs about 40#. It is designed to have a wood face screwed to the movable jaw. When I have the need for soft jaws, I just throw in some wood or whatever. I offer it for sale only because I have so many other vises (not to mention vices). I have an all wood vice of about the same size on the other side of my workbench. An extra long vise comes in handy; in the 3rd photo I am pressing a bearing onto an 8" jointer cutterhead. $120. BTW, notice the triangular joinery on my self built workbench. You see no end of weakly joined parallelogram workbenches. I don't get it; put geometry to work for yourself.
PORTABLE VISE. 1.5" wide jaws open to 1 1/2". Nickle sized anvil spot. Will clamp onto table up to 1.5" thick. 2#. $18.
V-BLOCKS, set of 2. 8" high, 8" wide, 6" long with 5/8-11TPI threaded holes in top. They are being underutilized holding up a roll of newsprint. Buy them and put them to good use. Steel with a nice even light coating of surface rust--will clean up. $100.
LAPPING PLATE, 6.25" square, hardened steel or cast iron. Checked with a Brown and Sharpe straightedge; it is flat. $70
LAPPING PLATE, 10X14", hardened steel or cast iron. It matters not that the top is discolored. Put it to use and in no time that will disappear. Checked with a Brown and Sharpe straightedge; it is flat. Weight kept to a minimum with the design. Made by J. C. Busch, Milwaukee, WI. $120. You can use such lapping plates in ways you may not have thought about. Say you buy a piece of equipment with a rusty surface that is supposed to be flat. How do you keep it flat and clean up the rust? Turn the lapping plate upside down, add some lapping compound, clean and flatten the machine surface.
FEDERAL MANDREL FIXTURE JIG. Model 100B-20, serial #1. Perhaps a one-of-a-kind item. Includes 36 mandrels similar to the one illustrated mounted in the jig. These mandrels have different diameters; there may be some duplicates as I did not measure them. These mandrels may have been finish polished on this jig. Below the mandrel is space for clamping a lapping plate. The rail rider is designed to accept a dial indicatior. ~20" tall, 22" wide and 11" from front to back. Together with the mandrels, it weighs about 100#. It has some oil and dirt on it, but it will clean up. $200
5" 3-JAW BUCK CHUCK. Made for Nikken. It came with a Nikken rotary indexer, to which I adapted a Hardinge spindle. With a Hardinge spindle on the indexer, I can mount my Hardinge chucks directly onto the spindle nose, so I might as well sell the Buck chuck. With inside and outside jaws, NEW-IN-BOX. $400.

PARAMETRICS 1/2HP 1800RPM 4.7A 90V DC MOTOR WITH VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL, 5/8" shaft, Ex+, $200 (Parametrics, 284 Racebrook Rd., Orange, CT 06477, 203-795-0811)
SPEED CHANGER. 20:1 ratio. One revolution of the shaft facing you results in 20 revolutions of the other 2 shafts, 1/2" diameter shafts. I would love to use this to make a paddle wheel catamaran. Please buy it before I spend the time on this Quixotic quest. $35

SCULPTOR'S TABLE, solid oak base, hand wrought hardware, craftsman style construction, splayed legs with cross bracing, mortice and tenon joinery, 27.5" high, 24X24X2" solid maple top, weighs ~80#, top revolves--but not too easily because you want your workpiece to stay put, decades old--from university sculpting laboratory, top is newer, because the top is removable, it may be shipped via UPS. $400. This table is really well built. Sculptors pounded stone on this tabletop; it is designed to support hundreds of pounds. When I got it, the original top was a bunch of oak wood fibers loosely held together because of the pounding and weight it had suffered over the years. The legs, however, are as sturdy as new. I am currently using it in my machine shop. The piece of equipment on it in the 1st photo weighs over 100#; it will support a whole lot more. I now have a 30" diameter maple butcher block tabletop available that you may have in place of the square top. Although, personally, I would prefer the square top with clipped corners--resulting in an 8 sided top to more closely match the base; I'll neatly clip the corners of the square top for you for $50.
BAR STOCK BENDING JIG, for widths to 2", I haven't yet checked with the manufacturer to find out the thickness capacity, but it is a substantially built bending jig that I guess will easily handle 1/4" thick stock, model #52, serial # 1176, made by Roper Whitney, Inc., 2833 Huffman Blvd., Rockford, IL 61101. The bending jig has adjustment capability. Requires 1" OD pipe or rod for use. The 1" steel bar illustrated did not come with the bending jig, but worked well to bend the 1/4" thick aluminum as an experiment. That about 33" bar is $35 extra + it will add to the shipping cost as well because it will have to be shipped in a 2nd box. Purchased new from machine tool supply house at their moving sale, $150.

SCISSORS. Not your father's scissors, nor your grandfathers scissors; maybe your great, great grandfathers great scissors. You can say that they don't make them like this anymore to much more modern scissors than these. These scissors are incredible! They are made to last forever! And do they cut! I cut a piece of heavy leather not just well, but with the greatest of ease--to the very tips of the blades! At almost 17" long and almost 2.5#, you would think that using these scissors would tire you out. Not so. They cut so well, regrardless of what you are cutting that they fatigue you less than lesser scissors. They do not need sharpening and they do not need adjustment. These scissors have a very ergonomic feel yet they were made long before the word ergonomic was coined. Speaking of coins, I am sure these scissors would cut a coin, but I would not do so any more than I would collapse a beer can against my forehead. My size 9 hand is shown with the scissors. A slightly larger hand will also fit into the scissors. I find no manufacturers mark on these scissors. They are very similar to a pair of Wiss scissors I sold a few years ago, but these actually outperform the Wiss. I found these in an "upholstery kit" at an estate sale in the Norwood Park section of Chicago, an old neighborhood that survived the 1871 Great Chicago Fire. I did not buy the upholstery kit, but took the scissors to the estate manager and asked for a price. I tried cutting the same leather with a pair of modern Chinese made scissors; the cut was difficult, not straight and 2/s through the cut the leather turned sideways--caught between the scissors, the plastic broke at the pivot point and the red pivot cap fell out. $300
MUSIC STAND, professional metal stand, with double jointed arm holding the music sheet tray, allows the base to be completely out-of-way, music shelf may be 2' + from stand center, music shelf has adjustable angle, shelf is plenty strong enough to hold a laptop computer, weighted base, removable rubber tipped tripod legs, weighs 28#, grey paint and chrome column, Mint-, $65
HEAVY DUTY STAPLER Writing on the tool: "Markwell Giant Nailer. Markwell Mfg. Co., New York. Made in USA. Sixteen." There are 3 holes at the rear for bolting to a tabletop. The front end is designed to stand free above the tabletop surface or perhaps to be cantilevered out over the edge of the tabletop. I tested it on 2 sheets of corrugated cardboard--which it handled with ease; the cardboard, however, was the cheap asian variety and it tore as you can see. This calls for Markwell SPECIAL staples, which--if you do an internet search--you will find are readily available. $50
DIGITAL Power Control 861-D. Plug it into 3 phase and get 2 or single phase output. 19" rack mount. See photos for details. $120
General Radio Decade Resistor. This is a very useful laboratory test instrument. As with all the images, click on it to see an enlarged version so you can read the capacity. $80
Powerstat Variable autotransformer, type 1168, 50/60 hrtz, 1 phase, input voltage 120V, output voltage 0-140V, 10 amps, 1.4 KVa, works well, $125. They do not make them like this anymore.
Westinghouse rheostat variable transformer, type 125601, 50/60 hrtz, 1 phase, input voltage 240V, output voltage 0-280V, 28 amps, 7.8 KVa, $125. There is a hole caused by arcing on the electrical panel base plate. I see no reason why it would not work, but I do not know if it does work. I do not know how to connect it up to test it. It weighs 72# and most of that weight is the copper winding. At today's price of copper, that is significant.
Powerstat Variable transformer, style #874509, 40 ohms, input 2.4 amps, output 10.4 amps, 125 volts. Copper windings. 2 connecting cables. $50.
TILTING SERVICE STAND. Oftentimes used in the electronics industry for the repair of plat panel displays, etc. Metal frame is 19X25", plywood base 22X25". Adjustable angle; folds flat. There are 4 holes in the metal frame for adding whatever you want to it. Sturdier than most. Would make a great artist's tabletop easel. $60.
ADJUSTABLE MACHINE LIGHT. I illustrate it in use on my milling machine. The small reflector makes it easy to position it just where you need it in tight spaces. Position it and it stays put. It has a small flat plate with 2 bolt holes for mounting. Mounted to the motor mounting plate using the existing motor mounting holes, it stays in place relative to the spindle when you swivel the overarm. This is by far the best designed light for this purpose. I use a compact fluorescent light in it to keep it cool enough to adjust by hand. This is designed like your arm with 4 rigid, but adjustable sections, and 3 ball joints. $115.
ADJUSTABLE MACHINE LIGHT. This light is good for use on a lathe. The neck is about 24" long. It remains cool to the touch with the double insulated reflector. It will clamp onto a table top edge up to 2.25" thick. It is illustrated on the above listed Stark 9" swing lathe. $75.

Formerly used in a basement darkroom; some corrosion on metal parts. Porcelain plates or pans. Fully adjustable and functional. $50
ANTIQUE BALANCE, Fairbanks brand, balance beam type--no springs, adjustment screw, weighs to 75#, cast iron, tabletop model. If you have an old time store, this is just what you need for the sake of appearance. A balance beam is much more accurate than a spring based scale. Springs may stretch or shrink with temperature and grow tired with age, but gravity remains constant. Out of curiosity, I will weigh a package on my accurate balance beam scale and take it to the Post Office to ship and see just how inaccurate their scales are. Their scales may read out to a tenth or a hundredth of an ounce, but because they are spring based, they are inaccurate. Of course, I must pay what their scale says. $125
FAIRBANKS MORSE 1000# CAPACITY PORTABLE PLATFORM SCALE, model 41-3132, balance beam type--no springs, adjustment screw, 18X27" platform sits 8" above ground on hidden steel wheels located underneath platform, 43" high post and balance beam, with extra weights to go to 500#. Additional weights needed to go to 1000#. Weighs ~150#, $300
HANGING BALANCE, a balance beam of the purest form, weighs to about 1000#, cast iron, very well made, note the V-notches in the cast and machined eyes that rest upon the corners of the square pivot points, probably designed to weigh game, with an auxiliary weight, the left pivot point is 2" from the center pivot point, the right pivot point is 8" from the center pivot point, Ex, $25
SAUSAGE MAKING MACHINE 6&8 quart size, with large and small pressure plates, interior perforated cylindrical liner, manual crank, with the interior perforated cylindrical liner, which is designed to be used with the smaller pressure plate, you can probably also use this as a fruit press, although this is more substantial than your usual fruit press, weighs 40#, surface rust, will clean up easily, complete, Ex+, $90

Baker's rack. KelMax Equipment, Model NSF. 70" tall, 20.5X26". Accepts 18" wide trays or pans. On wheels. Fairly clean, but I intend to use it as a storage rack, so it will need a cleaning before use as a baking rack. $90
