Got one similar that bolted to a bench grinder. Made by blue point. Which is part of snap on tools. Pretty neat machine
Takes nominal size discs and belts

Me and my mom used one of those when we used to do wood working together, work great.

Well I see them used in stock removal knife making a lot so I figured it could be used for chainsaw bars as well and will be more useful than just a regular bench grindwr

What part of the bar are you talking about sanding? Just refinishing?

Looks like a nice welder Lonestar! Our's (dad's) welder is about the same size (Hobart 125). Could be bigger, but that is what multiple passes are for. You can get away with quite a bit with just a 115 mig machine. I have repaired countless tools and even repaired a small prybar and a broken vice with it. I would also set aside a bit for a decent hood if you intend to do much welding, auto-darkening one would be quite helpful as well. Nothing more aggravating than a cheapo hood coming down or not darkening when needed.

Truing up the rails and removing the burrs.

 

[Boomer 87]

You can use it to take the sharp edges off and square up the rails

Yeah what he said

The last thing I can remember us building was a box truck piggy bank, we made tires and all. She had the stuff to do what ever was needed, from a 18" planer to the lowly power scroll saw. When Alzheimer set in we had to stop. I was afraid she might get hurt if no one was around. Dad put a pad lock on the door of our little wood shop, and so the tools sat idle for over ten years. Mom told me before she got Alzheimer that when she passed that all the tools were mine. Mom pass a few years ago, 10 years with the disease and bed riden, the tools still sit because it not the same with out her. Dad built a new work bench for the wood shop last year to replace to old one which was starting to deteriate . Sorry for the rambling.

Yeh I saw that too. All in time sir. Just like saws. Get your starting point and build out

It's a lot faster, can true the rails up better than hand files.

This is what I like finding now and then, on par with tools and saws.

That's real cool. Where'd you find that?

You're not going to believe me, was in the console of my truck I just sold, don't know how and where it came from. Truck has been borrowed some over the years, who ever lost is my gain. This one has got my 1864 Indian head penny beat by size and age.

Dad has some old coins from the 1940's and up, mostly solid silver half and whole dollars. Some red print bills and a few Mercury halve dimes.

As long as you don't get duped with a replica

My oldest daughter had gotten into antiques, wants my great grandmother wash stand to go with its matching side dresser she was given but i said no way. Thought she wanted the iron bed that goes with it my mom restored but I said I sleep on it.

Didn't cost me a penny. I watch for those, plus you need to use a magnifier to inspect real well.

Red heads are the best! Homelite and Jred!

Well I'm thinking blonds may be more fun. I'm a bit more partial to those Mac's and have loved a few yellow Pioneer/Poulan/Partners just a bit. Though my 3100 IS without doubt my redheaded exception to that rule. Orange saws seem plasticy "disco like" to me, but man do they cut smooth and fast.
