Here is a pic of world War 1 Pratt & Whitney cut rifling machine,View attachment 1204695 that we made muzzleloaders barrels back in the day and it still works we just don't use it anymore.
The owner already has someone interested now there thinking of a strategy how to get it out of here without disturbing our current production.Want to sell it??? I need a job for my retirement and this would be right up my alley!
Now now that's funny I don't care who you are good one Dusty.
If they was in socal they would be a victim of regulationsCool Old Machinery!!
WAY off topic but, had the opportunity to take some BIG bags of wool over to a place North of Sacramento that processed it into yarn and bats for quilting.
VERY BIG machines that were bought from England and were destined to the scrap yard.
Shipped over, installed into a new building just made for them. And the place was spotless!! Loved watching the machines in action.
New owners got a deal of a lifetime. They were going to be sold for scrap so they were able to pick them up just in time.
Close to 100 years old and still looked like new.
Work like a champ and turns out beautiful processed wool.
I need to go back and see if they're still working.![]()
That's the key to making straight holes maintained the bearings and the cones and the the drill bushings the list goes on an on.^^^
I'm not surprised that they're still in service after all these years- but certainly there's a lot of rebuilding, right?
Bearings, gears, screws, sliding way surfaces... all wear as we know.
