Whats this ?
Hi all.
Picked this up the other day.. some sort of guillotine... well built, and heavy.. If it has no use, it off to the scrap yard !!
Can anyone identify it ?GEDC0994.JPGGEDC0995.JPG

Looks like a brick guillotine to me. We zinc plate something similar at the place I work.

If you don't know what it is, why did you buy it????

The OP did not necessarily say he did buy it .He said he picked it up, which could mean he got it it for free, or came in a package deal with something else he did want.
I would not dump it but would sell or swap it for something useful or make something else out of it. I googled it and there are brand new ones still for sale.

Thank's Graham... It was actually put it out as garbage !!..I always have an eye for things that are a bit unusual or old... if I cannot make use of them or resell the item, it goes in as scrap.

Hi Kenny, Guys,
I would agree that it is a brick guillotine ! Useful if you need to cut a brick to length to fit.
Beats bashing a brick with a bolster and 2Lb hammer.Best Regards:
