New to me equipment

[Kevin_Essiambre]

Hey all,

My late grandfather had a shop that we finally got around to sorting thru, and I just wanted to share what we found that I will make good use out of.Sorry for the sideways photos, they're fine on my computer but got rotated when I uploaded them...



First Photo is a metal chop saw. Not sure how often I'll use it because I have a bandsaw but I know it will see use.

Second photo is a set of Oxy-Acetylene torches - Victor style. I know the tanks are going to be out of date, apparently I can just go exchange them?

Third and fourth photo are of an older style Magnetic Drill Press. Super excited about this one, as I have been looking for something to drill some 3/4" holes in 1/2" plate. I bought an annular cutter for it, but the drill has a jaccobs chuck, and the annular cutter uses Weldon style... But I'm hoping it being a 3/4" jaccobs chuck that I can just run it as-is, without buying the adapter for it...

And the last photo is of a stinger lead that I found tucked away. There is tons of welding gear there, but this stinger lead is like 2/0 cable, way bigger than everything else there for the 180 amp stick welder... I know it will be useful for my ESAB Heliarc 352 one day so I grabbed it.

One day I will have a shop for all this stuff, but for now, it's at my dads place.

The mag drill is great one to have. I have a B&D 3/4" too.
