I'm seeing a cannon barrel......

That's what I was thinking!

Have you been shopping for a good used mill? Note it comes with its own crane.

Who needs a drill press?? 208-240 volt 2HP motor single phase. (it is FS)View attachment 754221View attachment 754222

Always bothered me to see tools like this damped...Yes I understand cost and deprecation at a commercial venture but as self support individual it makes me sort of sad...

Looks like a Bullard Cut Master? About a 36 inch table. I used to run one of those during my apprentice days. Nice machine. Side head to. Brings back memories. TaDa!

FYI. The crane is for the side head counter weight. I dropped my personal 12" Starrett scale on the table one day while turning a part. It split the scale lengthwise into 2 identical but narrow 12 inch scales. What a hoot. Later

Containers are bent like that at the docks. They sell those first.

And its FS. It is a Bullard make.

All that stuff will bring good money in the right hands. We used a turner like that to weld up the turner on drilling rigs. Had a foot petal on it. Welder used a wire welder. We had a brake that would easily bend a 12 ft piece of 1/2 inch API2H50 which is armor plate. HSLA70 modified also. That stuff looks old and rusty but it will still work. Recently used old things like that to build the hand rails, and I mean 18 wheeler loads of handrail for a hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls. I didn't go on the install. Had to build round ones too. They got that pipe saddle cutter working and that was nice.
