My dad had 1 just like it. he used it back in the 60s and 70s. he bored 1 out with me in the 80s.and used the stone to sharpen the bit. it was a slow prosses boring the 460. but somthing i will never forget!
Thanks Tom, Sadly it came with no tooling. I'm probably going to put it on Craigslist at some point. Thought it might be handy for boring tube sections or plates, but I can do most of that on the Bridgeport. I need to free up some space. ATB -Dean
I know quite a few hit and miss old engine guys. It might come in handy helping out those guys. Probably going to be a challenge coming up with some affordable tooling. Hay I checked out your shop tour, Looks real nice, that shaper is awesome ! Dean
@@jamieschinkai1267 No, definitely not, got lots of work planned for it, the main thing is I'm going to modify a tool so I can cut a groove in the deck for an O ring, That should work?. Check out my youtoob channel?
What a cool thing to find in a pile of trash

Man that brings back memories. I bored hundreds of cylinders on one similar to that back in the 60s/70s.

Same make ?
It's cool. Nice find.
Nice Find
enjoyed....you have some “seagulling” buddies....lol, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.....
I used to set the auto stop on bar and put a head in the lempco 545 with auto return and CUT IRON.
Cool find.
I knew straight away what this machine was.
It’s a damn shame that you don’t have any tooling with it.
Started looking for used tooling. Holy smokes it's pricey $$$. At least it came with one cutter.
Thanks for stopping by.
Interesting machine. I wouldn't mind finding one of those.
You could make it into a drill press with a huge quill :)
I have 2 - Van Norman equivalents. I'm in the UK though !
Very cool. I've been looking for one for some time now. But use a Bridgeport mill to bore small cylinders now.

did you get the tool kit too? awesome find
No tool kit ... sold it about a year ago..
Thanks for viewing... ATB....Dean
what would you call the metal bar that gives the cutting tool bar it's rotation ?
My guess would be drive rod or drive shaft
Oh so near to automatically switching it off but you stopped winding the handle :(
How old are they? I've got one.
It seamed rather old maybe the 60's . I sold it a couple months ago...needed the space.
Thanks for the comment...Dean
Wanna sell it?
