Good post Rick, I will take a few photos later. I could drag some of my Fathers out too.

Just clearing out one of my sheds and came across the 9 inch disk cutter I made in the 70's, consisted of a washing machine motor, a flexy drive and a fabricated hand hold and disk guard, easy cut through 9 inch RSJ, pic tomorrow, Rick

That brings back memory’s of similar contraptions my Father used to make! Come to think of it, quite a few of mine too!

Great for cutting when there is a bit of room round where you are working, not so handy getting at the inner sill on a T2...

I have to say, I am surprised you actually made a guard for it..

Tried it without but could not control it so guard provided a means of holding it steady, and no it does not meet modern criteria of a mini bat powered disc cutter but do not forget this was when such stuff was mega expensive, Rick

I just sat staring at the photos of this and I have no recollection of fabricating it apart from I know the slots were filed by hand as I did not have the Milling machine and rotary table then. The basic ring was turned on the lathe.

The tool was made to remove the fuel tank sensor securing ring fitted to a 1966 Jensen CV8 (and other vehicles that use the same type) without resorting to a hammer screwdriver.

This contraption was for breaking the hub to half shaft taper on Salisbury axles. A 10 ton hydraulic cylinder loaded up and a tap on the end has worked for me on several but they can require more grunt. I lent the tool out only to get it back bent and bowed with burn marks from oxy-acetylene where the hub had been heated and sledge hammer marks on the end plate. (Some of the marks might have been spur marks!) It turned out the tool was passed on to a well known race preparation company to break the taper and they had done the damage.
