Today's tool find

[Dave G]

This followed me home today. Looks to be a keyway milling machine. After taking pics I gave it a good dose of kroil oil as most parts are froze up. I'll leave it set a few days and when I have time I'll try to get it apart. It may actually be worth fixing up and putting a motor to it and see if it will work. Has anyone ever seen one of these? This is the first one of these I have ever seen.

Looks like a neat little item. Not sure how many people have a need for a dedicated keyway cutter, but it looks great, all the same!

That looks like a machine for the machinery repair people....strap it on to that shaft you don't want to remove.....bolt a motor to a temporary base mounted on those angle feet and cut the keyway on the machine.

Railroads had crankpin lathes that turned wheel crank pins right on the locomotive.

I'd drop the whole think in a gallon of Evaporust before I touched it.
