It will be interesting to see what that AR-180 goes for. An early Costa Mesa, California built model

The Harleys will go for as much as all the machine tools combined

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence, and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years . It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints, and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.

Theodore Dalrymple,

I was impressed with the "Tool Grinder" and the Potter & Johnson CO. "shaper". You wonder, sometimes. Respectfully, Ron Moore

Looks like two Kurt II vices with no bid - look like 6" ones. They are labeled as Turk II

That "shaper" looks more like some kind of hole punching press to me.

Ohh - a nice tilting rotary table. Wish I was a little closer :-)

and the tool grinder under it is the shaper, cant tell what kind, probably by the boat anchor company :-)

I looked up the Rahn Plankator, expensive little piece of equipment. A little out of place with the rest of the stuff.

It's a sharpening fixture for end mills and cutters, just what you've always wanted. Its twin is in J&L's catalogue here:

I've emailed the auctioneer in response to his plea for help.

That PEXTO "Metal Brake" sure looks like a shear to me.

Wimberly is just down the road a piece, but I don't have the room or the budget for the interesting goodies.

Regards, Ed

I think it's a shear, too. Unfortunately, going to be out of town that weekend,can't go and browse.

Where you at, Ed?

That "tool Grinder" looks a lot like a shaper I used to have.
