What is it - I don't know
« on: October 02, 2020, 08:35:31 AM »
Hi,
I'm new to the board.  I have been cleaning out a storage area and came across something I don't have any idea what it is.  Its extremely heavy and I can't budge it.  I believe it is something my Dad bought at a garage sale many years ago.  Dad is no longer living so i can't ask him. The pictures are of the back and inside.   Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Peaches

 Welcome to Tool Talk !

I can't tell what it is. Are the  "rollers" movable or adjustable?

Hi,
I don't think so.  My nephew just took a look at it and didn't know either.  He did turn it around and there are just two wooden slats there.  So maybe the pics I said were the back may actually be the front.  The sides are wooden slats too.
Thanks,
Peaches

Appears to be some kind of grinder. A shaft to turn one roller and probably a chain or belt on the other end to turn the second roller. How much gap between the rollers?

Hi,
Thanks for the help with this.  I'm thinking of just giving it to the scrap metal guy that comes around.
