DigitalDanI'm going to contact Webster and suggest they substitute the second photo for the text as a definition for "whirling dervish".

TM, where do you insert the crat?

ToolmakerTwo words people: think combine
If you look at the URL tags from the pic, you'll see they're from Allis Chalmers website.
I have no idea what they're doing but man it's scary lookin' when the lathe is on....

Looks to me like the intake blades of a large snow-blower. Used to work with a few of those in Winterpeg,Manitoba.

ToolmakerIt's actually a mixing blade from something in food service.
The blade is Stainless steel.
The picture of it running just makes me quesy..

N. S. SherlockMake sure you tag out the switchbox before you crawl in the access door to adjust the blade scrape against the cylinder wall.

ToolmakerI may be crazy, but I'm not stupid.
They'd have to fire me, because there is NO WAY I would go near that to machine it.
I found these two pics at the HSM message board - my nasty, crat hating mind instantly gauged the possibilities....

claybusterThat must be some kind of balance/vibration test,I didn't see any grinder attached to the lathe,,And your'e shure as hell not going to "turn" something with that kind of air space,,,You'd bust every bit ever produced,,I remember where I saw something allmost exactly like that,,My grandpa ran a gristmill and had a mixer with a similar rotor for mixing the baking powder and leavening to the pancake mix,,,Clay

N. S. SherlockEnvision that blade mounted vertically in a big cylinder like a home ice cream maker, powered by a whopper diesel/electric motor set. Two long lines of pairs of our tough Aussie friends frantically passing cats toward the toss-in hopper funnels, one right, one left. Boxcars being emptied of yowling cats, grabbed and passed forward. Toolmaker manning the dispensing lever, like on the soft ice cream machine down at the crouch and gobble, filling up 55 gallon drums of perfectly blended cat puree, to be sent to china to help meet their protein needs such as cat nuggets (5 for 65 ying, 13 yang each), or animal crackers, for their domestic cat consumption. An engine of world trade!

However, the wife who never says "no" to any of my half baked schemes put her foot down for this one. NS has the right idea, send them slurpies to China.

MarteriusI think those blades should be made out of RWL-34 quality steel and honed very carefully to a 24 degree edge!
