It’s a Delta-Rockwell Toolmaker, kind of a combo tool and cutter grinder and a surface grinder.

I have one. I noticed the newer 90 degree lift crank.
mine is older.

Yes it’s a TG-3, from 1972 I believe.

Oh nice. you have the universal head. And you have a coolant tray... nice...

I see they moved the X travel to the left side vs the right. The casting for the base is different too. Thanks for showing this. My older model before I completed it.

how'd you know it was a 911? I can see it's a Porsche, but not that it's a 911.

And what's the round thing under the spoke of the steering wheel?

It’s a button to start recording on my Horizon camera. It displays RPM, speeds, location on track, g’s etc.

Bigger YIKES! $2.64 per pound. It looks (sort of) like hot rolled.

Dimensions?

I have started cutting it already, but it’s about 4’ long 3/4” thick, and I’m guessing 8”x10”

 

[Christianstark]

Yikes. Over $2 per pound. Local scrap yard by me sells angle and just about anything you can imagine for 40c per pound.

It was a drop from my local Metal Supermarkets.

Have been keeping an eye out for a heat treat oven and this one popped up on Craigslist just a few miles from my house.







Best part was the price.

Free
