    Mystery Home Made Machoine Tools...

    Hey guys, first time posting on here, so please take it easy if I've maken a few mistakes...

    I was wondering if anyone would be able to help identify some hand built machine tools I have recently acquired (not built by me).
    I have a few ideas/suspicions of what some of these machines may be, but otherwise I am fairly clueless.
    There are seven machines in total, all of very solid construction from angle iron.
    Here is my best guess as to what I have:
    • Vertical Milling Machine (Not Pictured)
    • Horizontal Milling Machine (Pictured)
    • Capstan/Turret Lathe (Pictured)
    • Facing/Boring Lathe (Pictured)
    • Band Saw (Not Pictured)
    • Table Saw (Not Pictured)
    • Table Saw (Not Pictured)


    Please note that I have labelled the one machine as a 'Capstan/Turret Lathe', but as can be seen on the second picture, the turret is operated via a single long lever, rather than a fraditional capstan drive.

    I appreciate that these are some very poor quality photos, owining to the positions that these machines are in,
    I will try to move the machines over the next week and take some better photos or even videos of the machines working if at all possible.

    I have very little use for most of these machines myself, so I would like to sell them, ideally to someone who would get some use out of them, or may even have the know-how of how to modify these machines for improved functionality.

    If anybody has any better ideas of the purpose or possibly the value of any of these machines, then any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!
