What Did You Buy Today?

Picked up a bunch of stuff from the same estate sale site I've been getting stuff from for the last two months. The last two trips netted around 500' of galvanized angle iron in 2,3,and 4". Some large chunks of 1 1/2" steel plate, and a 30"x 2" thick cast iron grate, along with pto, or electric motor driven Rhino winch (Not to be confused with a soft on the steal female Republican), a Greenly hyd. punch, and a tub full of welding rod including cast iron rod and other welding goodies, and just too much stuff to list. Filled two trailer loads of treasure on this last and final foray for the princely sum of $100. Probably done hauling stuff home for awhile, but I've said that before.

My first jointer was a new 6" Powermatic. I was never happy with it. I came by an 8" Powermatic out of a school that was equipped with a "safety head". Much better. You can stick a board into the head totally off the table and it won't kick back. Tables are parallel which the 6" wasn't no matter how I tried to shim it. Later I got a 16" Crescent for $100. Had it Blanchard ground, new bearings etc. Worst part was adjusting the tables. Each table has 4 wedge adjusting points. Talk about chasing your tail. I made a grinding fixture for it and it can be quite true. Still hand feeding 16" wide boards can be a challenge.

any chance you can add a power feed on the outboard side to assist?

I tried that. It does work for some things but not so good for others. With a really twisted piece it is better to manually choose how to feed.
A straight line rip saw and a moulder have pretty much done away with needing a jointer.

You got a mega-haul there. Nice

I'm curious what the pictured items are. I feel like I should know already but . . . if I ever knew, I've forgotten.
What is the proper name for these?

The resemblance is obvious, but I don't think that is the intended application.
If someone suggests the correct key words, I bet McMaster sells them.
Still curious.
