And that's not all I also got for free a milk crate full of 1/2 sheets of good black abrasive paper / cloth all grits , and a bunch of Teflon And plastic bushing material 3-4" x 24" L , new hoit drills in cases a number set and letter set and fraction set all shiney but packing greese is old and caked on them along with the 1/2" shaft larger drills in pic
these Dp vices and clamps all well made American iron. I made the aluminum jaws for the vice on bottom
The kiln is a Duncan dk820 tag says 2345 f on it not sure if it works.
I was really there looking for the Biax scraper motor to go with the scraper blades I got from him earlier but this stuff jumped out at me. I've ben picking this place for a while now but the rest is going to auction next week.
When I get back I'll be cleaning this stuff up and am sure I'll have some questions thanks

This may be a little bit of a hi-jack...

I have been researching aluminum casting... been reading about metal forges. One though I had... was to find a used kiln and convert it to waste oil burning. Seems the major issue would be to strip out the electrical stuff and bore a hole into the side at the appropriate place and angle... and build a blower/burner.
One thought I did have... was whether the kiln would handle the heat load.

Anyone tried this?

THX in advance for any thoughts.
 
If I convert this kiln it will use a roofer tar melting propane torch, oil makes too much smoke for cali, the kiln lineing can get up to 2350 f with no problems. But that project will be down the road a while after I clean up the other stuff.
 
I understand... we all have to live within the bounds of our area. Here in GA... We have a burn ban in the metro Atlanta area, starts on May first, and runs until the end of Sept. No burning of yard waste... and certain kinds of trash. I think the waste oil will get by... as long as I adjust the burner for no smoke.

The reason for asking... is it seems simpler to find a used kiln and adapt it... than build the pot part of a forge from scratch. I doubt I will attempt to melt anything other than AL or CU... the latter for recycling purposes.
 
Hi all, I went to the yard sale at this guys dads house , the tooling is dwindling down . I did pick up some other items ,
Lots of other demming drills 40 , 10# of quick release air couplings US made,
19 n, octagon/ square /em, hardinge 5c collets , two reels of bandsaw blade, 20# of hold down tooling , all sorts of other small stuff
Got a 24 compartment card file cabinet that had a bunch of reemers in it , a couple 6" lathe chucks ( slight rust)
All sorts of extension taps and regular ones, 10pair of cord plugs , a bunch of ss 3/8valves, cool mist setup,
I'll keep the common size reemers but what to do with all the other reemers ?.
Not sure what to do with kiln as I've made a small forge, the weed burner won't work but I'm making a burner of my own design.
