machine tooling , scrap?
« on: August 02, 2013, 10:20:14 AM »
I have always been told that once tooling gets rusty, it is junk.

not being a machinist, I have believed it.


So, just before I put this stuff  in the scrap  steel bucket, please take a look and see if any of it is NOT junk

The three on the left are accessory jaws for a Eifel-Flash Plierench. NOT JUNK.

Exactly what I was thinking, Bus!

The other pieces look cool, though.  Would make awesome pieces for a welded up junk sculpture!!

They look useful for some odd project
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

The three on the right are old hob cutters, used for cutting gear teeth. And unless someone wants them as a conversation piece, they are junk.
