Wow, that is quite and investment in grinders. You say that is your profession?
I just bought the jig cuz it is cool, I don't expect to ever use it and it looks like Philbert may be sucked into giving me a huge profit.

Do you have a lathe?
Might send you some extra work at sometime

 

[Lowhog]

No lathe or milling machine. 40 years of that was enough.

That saw came from our old stihl dealer in town years ago he gave Stihl the boot because they forced him to stock all power equipment and he only wanted to sell saws. He eventually went to Poulan after that then got dementia and passed away. I had many talks with him in his final years. Nice pile of noodles Todd.

I'm thinking I could get at least three running saws from the boxes. There was just about four saws there.

look at the bottom right photo, look at the top flat area behind the air filter. it is missing the data plaque.
As mine to was missing making me believe that this saw also was once owned by the military.
any government item sold as surplus has the GSA number removed before being sold to the public.

bikemike: Is that a gas reciprocating saw in the background? I missed that one, cool. I would like to have run it a little to see how it works, maybe next time.

Steve I missed you this year

Which one?

If me, I apologize. We've had OT at work, and that and the weather have kept me behind on spring chores.

I plan on a run down to the IA GTG yet, if I can get just a little more caught up.

Maybe next year or this fall we can meet at my place and you guy's and gal's can play with these giant cottonwoods. Anyone here with a outside wood burner?

Box elder is part of the Maple family and has better btu value compared to poplar, pine and whatnot. I have plenty of that also.
