New tools!


Makes me feel the need for self dating.

Got another grant. Bought some better, safer tools.

Replaces an old Carolina band saw that would throw blades and a Makita chop box. The chop box works fine, but throws a lot of sparks, leaves a red hot and sharp edge, and always has the chance of breaking the blade and shooting shards at high speeds. ( Hows the face, Woodrow?)

The cold saw is SWEET. Slow blade speeds, no sparks, and cold, perfect cuts.


Uh-oh. I think I need another sock.

How come we didn't have tools like that in the auto shop when I was in high school?

And how come the chicks weren't as hot either?

I wish I had a band saw like that, very cool.

very nice todd.

kept lookin at my band saw not thinking i'd use it much.
i've used it four times in two days.

i like stacking steel plates and letting it go.

mines a 20 yr old carolina,
but it's in pretty fair condition.

nice hook up!

I've hidden an Ironworker somewhere in this picture. That would be the tool to have. We had one in the shop at U.C. Davis and that thing was awesome. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the dual accessories...

I know nothing about cold saws. Can someone explain the concept ?

The fast red hot saw that pelts you with tiny eye seeking meteors I am familiar with.

You'd think that if the company could afford a picture shoot with models they could afford a better color of paint.

Here's my new poundoff material. Pick it up early next week and move it into the junkshop

I have a Powermatic vertical that looks EXACTLY like that one 'cept mine has a white racing stripe around the top.

Very nice, I see you have to tie the toys down, have you have problems with tools walking away?

Cool. I'm pretty jacked up about it. Means I can finally get rid of the crapineese bandsaw I have now

 

[bsevans]

Gumby, is that a Dake Super Cut 250 cold saw?

Safety dude says we have to bolt tools to the floor. I don't know what they'll have me do with the band saw since it's on wheels.

Yup.

Powermatic just emailed me the manual in pdf if you need it Gumby. Found out mine is from 1960.

Now I gotta find out when this one was made - gotta be 50's, early 50's maybe.


I love Craigslist. Got this, a dust collector, scroll saw and 12" disc sander all for $150 today

Junk, you suck! That's a great find for $150.

Yeah, I'm digging it. Instead of buying single phase converters for all this crap though I guess i should just build a rotary phase converter and toss it up in the attic or something.
