This is one of those things that I have no use for at all... but it has great big caste iron gears on it so want it :mrgreen: (Bit like those old Mangles... will get round one at some point...) I have seen them a few times before but they have always been in the hundreds of £ and beyond even my justification to buy
But today a guy in an antique shop offered this to me at £25 :shock: ... so here it is :mrgreen:

Should make a change from drills! :roll: The only part that looks like it needs outright replacing are the wooded rollers at the front (and possible the wooden handles too), otherwise some white spirit and re-oiling should get it gif nicely!
Does anyone know how to sharpen the blades on these?
