one of those non-sparking wrenches was made of Aluminum Bronze. You can see the mark on the handle "ALBR". Every so often, we in the foundry used to make Aluminum Bronze hammers for Weapons Dept. on the ship.
I first learned to operate a lathe on a Colchester made in 1950 and it was more modern than that one. I'd say that was pre WW2 or post WW2 when Britain was exporting to save itself. It looks to be in super condition .Colchester made thousands of Quality lathes for Colleges across the British Commonwealth and those ex school machines still bring top dollar .As for the $200 Mill, it was probably cheap because it had dust on it...
As said by others you have acquired VARIAC’s - which are quite useful. I mounted mine in a 8x8x4 PVC junction box and installed a NEMA 5-15 socket on the side of box + a fuse on the input mains. This then may be used to test many things by gradually increasing the voltage. Resistive loads such as soldering iron may be powered lamps etc. Motors may be tested but not run effectively. Want an adjustable temperature hot plate for UR coffee - no problem.
The dc drives are a great buy. I've converted both my drill presses and a bandsaw to dc. Full torque at nearly zero speed. Automation direct for cheap but good ac or dc motors and and drives
Capeing chisel, gear drive motors can be used on bandsaw to convert to metal. And even on a drill press pending on its output speed. Good deal on the first video was the Albrecht chuck . .Nice haul for the day
At around 8 minutes those pliers look like the tool you use for crimping on those rings for fixing airhoses. I cant rrmember what theyre called but they are a ring with two ears on it and you crimp the ears down to tighten the ring around the hose.
Pete, just a few things, the variable control is a variable transformer. This works on AC only as it is a transformer not a resistor. I use these to change the output voltage of a battery charger, especially when charging 2v traction batteries from a big 12v charger (I've done a video about this).The 90 degree worm gearbox is a good find and the ac motors look useful for the many machine builders and repairers on youtube. Cheers, Andy
Yeah, those are fairly expensive too. Careful on what you 'power up' though, these are usually only 1-2 amps output for that size...you can vary the speed of a DC motor by changing the AC input to the speed control/s... For most of this stuff on your list of 'steals'....1-2 items is worth the asking/sale prices.
Yes, the variable transformer or variable auto-transformer is a very useful thing. Just make sure the knob is in the zero volt position when you power it up or you may damage the carbon brush.
I still think a Great meet and greet / great box lot sale would be an outstanding idea. like any thing timing and notice is everything. Push it for all its worth for six months so people can plan to be there. Thank you for your tool haul videos. Semper Fi.
DC motors may be cheaper than you think. Most treadmills use DC motors in the >1 H.P. range. Most of the time you can find these for free when the belt goes out and they stop working. Most of the time the motor is fine. There are numerous TH-cam videos on how to set these up without the complicated treadmill controls.
Great buys! Your #13 was lucky. Someone got a super buy on the mill & lathe. I went to an "estate" sale yesterday and all it had was rusty, overpriced junk. You live in an area with great yard & estate sales.
@@1963Franksworld ...that's what's happened in an AWFUL lot of places, I'm sad to say- and if SANDERS gets elected- YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET!!! Some of us can still remember when Walter Mondale was running for president...and he had his @SS handed to him-!!!
joe tiller Even if they GAVE you the Enco- your problems would only be beginning...you'd have to move it, find a place for it, and connect it to electricity. If you lived in an apartment building, it wouldn't be possible. And if something broke on it, you might not be able to afford to get it fixed...
Auctions can be interesting. I bought a Bridgeport Series 1, 2J at a school auction. It has a shaper attachment on the back of the ram. It was an online auction, I thought the tool dealers would drive the price way out of line, so I didn't even bother bidding on it. About 1/2 hour before it ended I noticed it had not bid up much. I decided to bid, just so the dealers wouldn't steal it. No one else bid, so I got it for $937. It was in amazing condition, probably only 200 hours on it, the chrome ways were perfect. I sold the shaper for $1000 and took the machine to our makerspace. If it were not for the buyer premimum and transportation, I wouild have made money and the makerspace get a free Bridgeport.. You can see the machine in some of the videos I've been doing for the makerspace.
We have had some incredible things happen while building out The MakerBarn. We got a 25" Hegner scroll saw for $29, it had motor/controller problems. But being an electrical engineer comes in handy some times. A 14" Delta bandsaw for $80. It needed some parts, but used parts for those machines are easy to find. One person donated a big wide belt sander, just as several members started building cutting boards. School auctions can be quite good because many of the nicer machines are reserved for advanced students (and the instructor) and have very low hours. Here I am speaking to the choir.
Did you get that Kirby vacuum cleaner? I restore old Kirbys. They are incredible machines. Even the older ones beat the crap out of any 1-200 dollar Walmart vacuum. They usually need nothing other than a new belt, good cleaning and polish, and a brushroll adjustment! Occasionally you'll find one with worn bearing or a broken fan. Both parts are very cheap and easy to replace. The current off-white Amodel plastic fan that Kirby makes is damn near indestructible. The old metal and grey lexan fans are brittle and easy to break with nails and coins and big rocks.
DC drives are ok but the problem is that they dog down and drop speed under varying load. Some better ones have a feedback to the drive so they can read the rpm and boost the voltage to keep it running at a constant speed. The rpm sensor can be mounted anywhere like the spindle of a lathe or something.
Really enjoying your videos. Found them because I’m looking for a metal lathe and milling machine. Watched your series on what to look for in a lathe. Hearing u say a milling machine sold for $200 gives me hope. Ironically I’m only a hr away from u. Thanks for the videos, I’ll keep watching while I’m on the hunt
My 15/16 & 1 1/8 wrenches are the most beat up used tools in the set🤕, I got thinking and realized it almost has no use on machine tools. Plenty of use with 5/8 & 3/4 bolts though. Probably everyone has certain tools that get heavy use. I would have a large pile of 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 sizes if all the lost ones would show up.
it is indeed a cape chisel, its used in any application where you need to chisel in a tight space where the sides of a normal cold chisel would bind. Like a keyway i suppose. That is why it looks so unusual since the cutting edge has to be wider then the body but still needs to be well supported.
You don't have a variable resistor, it seems to be a "variac"- a variable ac transformer. Those large wrenches would be helpful around a truck or farm shop.
Those DC drives are NICE. I look for them all the time and never find one that isn't way over priced.. Great score Lyle, you and I both have the hoarder sickness;-)... Cant pass that good stuff up Great video Thumbs up
mrpete222 What I use is just a piece of clear acrylic. That way I can move it if needed. No wall space needed. The design was partially me and my patron Travis. Thanks for your years of hard work Lyle.
Mr Pete, Enjoy watching all your videos...You are lucky to have such an understanding wife, my wife doen't mind me buying things as long as WE know where I am going to keep it... LOL Bob
Out here in the Northwest where machine tools of any kind are scarce, except at Grizzly, a lathe like the one in your video sold for $4000.00 last year!
Whelp, I think you are a Lucky man with Thelma and the furniture for Jordan...and the scrap value alone of the motors, let alone the Starrett tap wrench...Variacs gotta be worth $30 each used if they woik...be careful with grounding them...the shaft is hot on some of those. Use your fine Simpson to verify. The score from the garage sale was definitely better Loot, but Real Glad you had Lots of fun for You and Mrs. Pete...and us. Thanks always Mr. Pete. P.S. Jiminy Cricket on the Enco for $200, looked pretty pristine.
How much did that Gerstner go for? The ”variable resistor” looks like an auto-transformer, which is much more efficient. Unfortunately it doesn't work as a speed control for AC motors, which are frequency-locked. You could use it on a universal motor, thought. The chisel is a cape chisel, no idea what they are used for.
the big rawhide hammer company is still in business ck online I have 3 from the auto plants for setting up rear axles and gears, you throw out alot of good used tools, donate them. nice video, cold here in michigan detroit.
You know, I happen to like Harbor Freight and Asian made products do not scare me, but one thing they cannot do is make a tube that holds air. Everything I've bought from them for work and for home that has a pneumatic tire on it has to be aired up each time it's used. Best just go for a quality replacement tube.
Probably so. I know their compression test kit is garbage. Two different readings with and without hose. I don't know why they continue to import something that gets bad reviews and is demonstrably bad.
The DC motor controllers were a great buy! Hopefully their dc voltage output match your motor voltage inputs. Compare new prices at Galco.com. They produce videos on some DC controllers, and have data sheet/manuals downloads for them also.
You need not imagine that everyone watching is sick with envy right now. I know I am. I agree with the DC comments. Nothing runs smoother or quieter than DC.
Not a "bad" haul. If you don't need pry bars, cut the ends off and you've got some nice hex steel for projects. I think Richard Ashman had the first correct answer on the cape chisel. Had to get my wife a new vacuum. Tore the old one apart, kept all the metal parts for reuse, including the 12amp motor. That motor is 16 years old but has plenty of life left in it. Am making a small belt grinder out of it. See you next time.
That ballpeen hammer looks like a Craftsman, Lyle. I have one that looks just like it, and I definitely bought mine from Craftsman in 1983, when I was going off to airplane mechanic's school. It's still going strong to this day. Me, not so much...
It's not you Tom, it's a theory I've proclaimed that I'm pretty confident in. It's that objects become heavier and more difficult to work on as we get older. In other words, it's the object's fault, not ours.
Yap...!!! Next thing we"ll hear on the news: " In the State of Illinois, A complete house and garage just SUNK into the ground for no appearent reason " Scientists are lost, and researching clues to this mystery, but they have a few moles in custody as important withnesses they hope those moles will share some informations as how this just happened. BTW we're still without news of our favorite retired shop teacher... LOL This could happen...!!!
$200 for the Enco... that's probably less than scrap value. On the west coast it would have been more like $1200. I just saw a nice Millmax with RO, power feeds and chrome ways go for $1500, yet folks think they can get $3-4K for a bare, worn out Bridgeport.
Those Colchester lathes aren’t 2 bad, the only problem with them is that parts are very difficult to obtain. Ps I’m looking forward to see you use that mallet 🤭😂
Holy smoke, someone stole that Enco! Still some nice scores there Mr Pete, considering what a good motor costs. Those controllers are pricey too. Mrs. Pete may meet Thelma some day when she comes down to the basement looking for her toothbrush and baking pans..... ;o)
Dang, I got the chisel question wrong so I just deleted it before anybody saw it! Enjoyed the review of your goodies....however, I missed out on a big auction yesterday and I'm still aggravated over it. I'm sure you've been there. Hey if you come up with any little stuff that would work in a Craftsman 109 hit me up on my channel. As always.... appreciate ya.
Will Thelma be making return guest appearances on the show?? We look forward to having her. But make sure she wears her eye protection when she visits the shop.
Mr Pete Hi from Lebanon I need your help, I have to make worm and worm gear tomorrow my question is as am going to make the worm wheel on horizontal milling machine using standard 20 degrees pressure angle cutter should I make the cutting tool for the pinion 40 degree s included? Please am waiting your answer.
Still looks to me as a great haul. I just can't believe all this is over just $100. Around here, I could keep half of that haul and sell the other half and buy me an old milling-machine with this selling cash ;)
Sniff ... sniff ... is that something on the lines of an arduino or a stepper motor I smell ? Will thelma be appearing from a trapdoor sitting on a perfectly controlled spinning device? Certainly some of the other creators are making good use of an old chuck attached to a motor and a small box of tricks to make it spin ... if you can get all those motors running you'll be able to spin a truck!!
machine equipment in the Northeast is dirt cheap , machine equipment down south is wildly overpriced .. Im guessing used machines in Illinois don't go for much . I think it all depends how much large scale production work was taking place in the area 50 years ago..

Hi Lyle, the item you called a resistor is a variable transformer often called a variac. They allow smooth AC voltage change.
The chisel is known as a cross-cut in the UK. as already mentioned it's for cutting a keyway.
Thanks

I didn't realize the lathe was that old
She might not be the prettiest girl at the dance, but she knows all of the right moves ;-) A mill and a lathe for $1k??? I'm gonna go cry now:-(
Me too I'm still crying
Mr Frog AW, CRUMBS DANGERMOUSE!!!
A mill for $200? Sure, until I place a bid. Then it rockets to the top!

The chisel is a cross cut or cape chisel for cutting grooves or anywhere a flat chisel cannot fit.
Sir I'm watching I from INDIAN I just watched your foundry technology series made in 2008 and it is still useful for me in 2018 thank you sir

I look at items like the pry bar and think, I don't need a pry bar, but I can cut the end off and now I have a piece of hex stock for a project.
Hi, I have used a large variac with a 400v transformer, a recifier, and a capacitor in a variable DC supply to test grid inverters. Works well, cheers
Yes, the variable transformer or variable auto-transformer is a very useful thing. Just make sure the knob is in the zero volt position when you power it up or you may damage the carbon brush.
I find them so amazingly useful. cheers
I still think a Great meet and greet / great box lot sale would be an outstanding idea. like any thing timing and notice is everything. Push it for all its worth for six months so people can plan to be there. Thank you for your tool haul videos. Semper Fi.
I agree, chisel is for cutting keyways. I think ave might have done a video awhile back using one.
Those variacs are handy for testing devices that run on different AC votages .

That's a cape chisel used for cutting out bronze bushings.
Favorite leather mallet Sako #4👍🏼
The Garland split head hammer is nice. With a replaced handle and faces it would be good as new.
Yes thanks
The chisel looks like a pointing chisel. It's used to knock loose mortar out from between bricks when repointing the joints.
Before you throw a motor away check the capacitor and start switch. Both are easy repairs and common failure items on single phase motors.

Mr Pete. That is a Cape chisel. Used for cutting grooves for keys. This hammer mechanic has several of them
I believe its a cape chisel for cutting keyways?
Cape pattern, for sure. Never used one for cutting keyways though. Great for lopping the shop heads off of aluminum rivets!
Also good for removing broken or cut off pipe threads from the fittings without damaging the internal thread.
Definitely looked like a cape chisel, yup.
it is indeed a cape chisel, its used in any application where you need to chisel in a tight space where the sides of a normal cold chisel would bind. Like a keyway i suppose. That is why it looks so unusual since the cutting edge has to be wider then the body but still needs to be well supported.
Kind of nice reaching a point in life where you can spend a day doing whatever you want. Garage sales, auctions, whats next?
Cape chizel. Used for keyways
Holy crap $200 for that mill and only 800 for that lathe! Absolutely crazy! Wish I had been there I would have bought both!

Hey if you come up with any little stuff that would work in a Craftsman 109 hit me up on my channel. As always.... appreciate ya.
mr pete the barilum copper rences are worth a lot more than you think look into it
dan van der torre Those wrenches were "bronze-aluminum", not beryllium copper- I never heard of bronze-aluminum before.
its 90% copper 10% aluminum its used for propellers on ships
dan van der torre I have heard of using bronze (copper tin alloy) to make ship's propellers-!
Your special friend Thelma is nice
lol
Mr. Peterson when you say throw out, do you take it to the scrap yard or actually throw it out with the trash?
That Ohmite Variable resistor is actually a variable transformer
Thanks
Wish I was unlucky enough to find all them pmdc motor speed controllers
Incredible price on that mill, even if it was made by Sum-ting-wong.
Hey there Mr. Pete! My husband is a tool ad die maker and we both enjoy your channel. Do you ever sell any of your tools?
Can you make a video on where in Illinois you find these auctions and their schedules?

Will Thelma be making return guest appearances on the show?? We look forward to having her. But make sure she wears her eye protection when she visits the shop.
Maybe
i think you did ok mr pete
Mr Pete Hi from Lebanon I need your help, I have to make worm and worm gear tomorrow my question is as am going to make the worm wheel on horizontal milling machine using standard 20 degrees pressure angle cutter should I make the cutting tool for the pinion 40 degree s included? Please am waiting your answer.
Thelma looks like Mrs Beasly all grown up 😉
Thanks Mr Pete too bad you didn't need a mill. Cape Chisel for cutting key ways.
Still looks to me as a great haul. I just can't believe all this is over just $100. Around here, I could keep half of that haul and sell the other half and buy me an old milling-machine with this selling cash ;)
Wow $200, wish I was there.
lol
3 bucks for that box, was a good good price.
Sniff ... sniff ... is that something on the lines of an arduino or a stepper motor I smell ? Will thelma be appearing from a trapdoor sitting on a perfectly controlled spinning device? Certainly some of the other creators are making good use of an old chuck attached to a motor and a small box of tricks to make it spin ... if you can get all those motors running you'll be able to spin a truck!!
machine equipment in the Northeast is dirt cheap , machine equipment down south is wildly overpriced .. Im guessing used machines in Illinois don't go for much . I think it all depends how much large scale production work was taking place in the area 50 years ago..
The chisel is a “cape chisel”.
Yes
How much did the surface grinder go for???
cape chisel for keyways
It's a "cape" chisel.
Ha ha, hope Thelma can sharpen drills.
