According to the seller, they were primarily making tooling (dies?) to make forged chisel plow bottoms for John Deere.

I see, more arm twisting.... no pressure at all.

You’re going need to make a video!

When that machine was originally purchased for Western Rockbit, they were used to make carbon impressions for their EDM sinking electrodes to make complex shapes inside the rock bits. Later is was used as @RobinHood mentions. I have a friend that used that machine for the purpose.

At $900 purchase price , i could see an instant "pay back" and modest income for someone wanting to get into rifle stock manufacture. There are thousands of boys that have WW11 military surplus rifle that well-meaning men of the past have cut the wood down to make sporting hunting guns...now that the sources for the "originals" has dried up, there are innumerable fellows wanting to return those sporterized ( commonly called "Bubba'd wrecks) rifles back into their original war configuration. Upward of 4-$600 for a 3"x6"x 4ft long piece of hardwood turned into an unfinished stock blank.
