Post by: wvtools on October 18, 2015, 09:45:45 PM: It looks similar to a bandsaw setting machine.

I can almost agree, but first I need to dig mine out and double check.
I know within 5 feet where mine is parked, and I can find the 2 foot+ diameter wheels real easy, they're tucked in the rafters along with the base board.

Sure be nice if he'd wipe the label off and shoot a good pic of it.

Post by: Billman49 on November 22, 2015, 08:49:31 AM: Agreed, a bandsaw setter - I have a couple similar, my friend currently has one of them as he sharpens and sets his old blades by hand..
