Shop Equipment Wanted--Two Metal Lathes, Press drill
|
Name: Daryl Azevedo Reply to Ad Date Posted: 02/16/2005 |
| I have two metal lathes and a very old press drill for sale as well as some other machine shop equipment. The first lathe was one of a pair that was used by the Canadian Pacific Railroad in the construction of the old steel bridge over the Saskatchewan River at Nipawin, Saskatchewan (Canada). This bridge was opened to vehicular and railroad traffic in 1927. The lathe was then purchased by an individual that operated a blacksmith/machine shop in the nearby village of White Fox, Saskatchewan. About 25-30 years ago the shop closed and my father purchased the entire contents of the machine shop. He moved it all to his own shop in Nipawin, where it still is today. I fell heir to all this equipment when my father passed away in December of 2004. The first lathe in subject was manufactured by J.A. Bertram and Sons in the 1920's. It has a bed length of around eight feet and a swing diameter of about 22 inches. It is 14 feet in total length and has an open belt drive system that is powered by a 240 volt motor. It comes with a multitude of parts and accessories such as bits, cutters, face plates etc. and the entire lathe and all accessories are in premium condition. The next one is a South Bend 9" x 44" lathe. It is belt driven, powered by a 120 volt motor and also comes with a whole bunch of accessories. It's a real nice little lathe, 50-60 years old and is in premium condition as well. I also have an old belt driven press drill that came from around the 1920's as well. It is in good condition. I have no place to store or utilize this equipment so I have to sell it all. I would consider any realistic offer on this equipment and if someone wanted to come and haul it all away together I would be willing to negotiate an even better package price for all of it. If your interested in this stuff, contact me and I will get you all the information you need, as well as some pictures of the equipment. |
