REAL friend would say give me a couple hundred and help moving and fixing because he's a friend. Some of the Milwaukee delta saws have two speed gear boxes for wood and metal.
The flat belt lathe is a restoration project for someone that just likes old machines. The Atlas doesn't look all that rusty, just dirty. So, if
you're looking for a lathe, it might be OK. But, with no tooling, you'd need to get it really cheap, and you'd still have to take it apart and go through it. What type of machines are you really interested in? Buying a bunch of old tools just because a friend offered them to you may not be
the best way to get started.

That Bewo is a cold saw, they're nice to have in a production environment. Of questionable value to a hobbyist. Could be worth some money if working.
I wasn't really looking at that saw too much. He said it was for precision cuts. Is that correct? It had what looked like a wood saw blade on it which I thought was odd. What is it, the equivalent of a wood chop saw for metal?
