jeannie and I went and picked up a lightly used Covington 18" saw last night. She will put pictures up after school today. I won't publish a price. I might get arrested. ETA Thanks to AzRockGeek for the lead. He found it on some obscure for sale site. Wierd site really.

Very nice! Getting harder and harder to find bargains for equipment because it seems more people are buying and restoring. 30-50 year old saws and/or grinding setups going for 60 to 75% of new retail seen all the time on Craigslist. All of my equipment (except my 20" saw) I bought cheap and restored. Can't even find beat up stuff cheap anymore. Ya done good!

I bought the 18" as a smaller saw. I have a 24" already! Lol So looks like you are getting more involved instead of less? Cool! Time at work is more manageable. I hired and trained a woman to take up some of the slack, i need two more people and then life gets good again. For now though, I work from home on momdays, am in class tuesday nights and have every sunday 100% free. So, there is some time to cut. This saw must be moved to the shed and add oil, then it cuts. Tumbler is nearing completion. Perhaps tonight even, prolly not. Lol Need pulleys.... |

There are few people I would drive that far for. So, thank you! The tumbler is able to hold 4 15-18# pvc jamesp style barrels. 1/6 HP I am short a couple pulleys and local supply is small. Once I get pulleys and motor mounted, then I wire it up and get it rolling! I will make a finished thread. I have some novel geometry in there and want to share. |
