Cincinnati Tool & Cutter Grinder Accessories and Other New Toys

[@johnlee8231]

Nice finds. I'd consider closing the building in before winter and cut in the doors when they become available. Glad to see you posting again.

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Just found enough PBR panelling to close everything up. More a matter of money than time.

@@EngineersWorkshop You can always make up money but you can never make up time!

[@grumpyoldman5368]

Nice to see you back! The door is a great find.

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Not bad for $250, eh?

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

Thanks for the update. You really should pull one of those Cincinnati work heads apart to see how it all works. That way I can follow your lead and not have to figure it out for myself. :)

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Scared to after listening to Dee Dee. Bearings and everything else super precision and fitted...

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

@@EngineersWorkshop I am in the same boat. I have one nice head and one "could be" nice head. Maybe I'll get adventurous some day. Keep up the good work.

@@EngineersWorkshopI really don’t recommend it either. If it works and runs smoothly, then it’s fine. Check the runout. It should be around one tenth. If that true, then you got a great find.

[@melgross]

@@r.j.sworkshop7883don’t. You’ll never get it back together properly.

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Really will only be using the 50 taper side. Will check the runout at a few spots.

[@chrisosowski8531]

Cool lift!

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Yes, very steampunk look to it.

[@paulrayner4514]

nice to see you back

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Thank you, will be posting more often again.

[@paulrayner4514]

@@EngineersWorkshop looking forward to it👍

[@gordonabrahamson5907]

Add three flat end Mill could possibly be tapered

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Thanks, will certainly confirm that!

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very nice machines sir. I’m jealous. He he

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Been a while collecting these, thanks!

That lift cart is off the chart cool. Not as useful or safe as a modern hydraulic cart but the cool factor makes up for it. I did a quick check and Economy Engineering Co is listed in early the serial number reference books. However its listed as being in Willoughby, Ohio not Chicago. If its the same company which I question we can date the lift. As of 1933 the first two digits of the serial are the year of production, example B5924 would be 1959.

@@mabmachine Yeah, my son found it on Marketplace. I've practically seen forklifts priced lower, but we both loved the vibe it has... hence me making boutique fasteners for it. I think it will handle my 18" Troyke to put on the K&T, right now I'm doing it with my hoist, which doesn't really reach. Check VintageMachinery.org and see if their publication says Chicago, I'll do the same, then post some shots of it in the machine registry.

[@EngineersWorkshop]

@mabmachine Found it mycompanies.fandom.com/wiki/Economy_Engineering_Company Guy i bought it from said it was for barrels, so the divot is intentional. Brochure shows one on the website!

[@melgross]

No, no, no, no! That thing is just waiting for you to lose concentration for just a second. I’ll stick with my hydraulic stacker. This is a nice museum piece.

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Other way is just crank it down. Thought some might enjoy seeing the brake method. It actually works smoother with some weight on it.

@@EngineersWorkshop I love old machinery. I gave a library of old books on that topic I buy. But that’s an accident waiting to happen. I can see ways to cover much of these moving parts with sheet metal, perhaps 18 gage. Safety first.
