New press

[C-Bag]

I think there were probably 2 of the fixtures, no pump yet. Possibly for armatures originally, I dk. I bought this rewinder at the same sale, I just wanted the table, as you can see very heavy duty. View attachment 467251View attachment 467252

Some machines I can see the function, but that thing I’d have to see it working to see how that’s a rewinder. Lots of great parts for repurposing though.

I should have bought 2 of these fortheprice, cleaning it up and freeing it up today. Got a pickup load of pipe and solid stock and these 3 machines for less than 2 Franklin's.

that's the backside, is it a punch press?
edit: sorry the side. looks like a punch press. I operated one for a job when I was young.

Yeah, that was my first job at a shop.

Continuing on, I don't understand why the fixture would have been bolted down, for straightening.

I have a couple of adjustable height V blocks that would be perfect for that. You can see them to the bottom left of the pic, next to the comparator stand

Take a pic by themselves and pm me, can't tell much, we can probably work something out.

Probably an earlier version of the pic I attached. When I worked in the grinding shop, they had a similar bench test centers with adjustable V-blocks and a moveable over arm screw type press to apply pressure to straighten.

When I searched “crankshaft straightener” I came up with the big brother:

and looking at the fixture that came bolted to it my swag was it was made to slip in on the end of the crank with the flange and take the bow out of the crank.

Aha! A friend asked me, and that was one of my original suspicions, a smaller version. Thanks.
