Did them on lathes forever. But i know the machine you are speaking of. Guy has one for sale here, but wants way more money than i think its worth. Been sitting in a shed for 20 years, and it looks pretty crusty.
I waffled on a shoe grinder, 75 bucks. That would have been a better choice.
 
My BIL will be moving pretty soon somewhere in MD. He has a pipe bender and all the cards that tell you where to rotate and bend the pipe. Man I would love to get that machine. Has to be a moneymaker for stock replacement pipes.

There is a pissing match going on I think on FEBO about cutting drums. All started some one saying they want to get their new drums cut before putting them on. Holy shitstorm sherlock. We always did that back in the day and arched the shoes to match also, just part of the brake job. I have NOS drums I acquired for the cuda really tempted to bring them over to Kens and just lightly hit them to show the out of round new. Man that would get ten pages of crap I bet over there.

The older stuff, before computerized , where often off. But around the early 90's they were mostly computer cut. So not many out by that time...In fact in the 90's we just shipped em out the door with little complaint...

I did em on lathes also, BUT... if a lot of heat burns in the unit the bit would skip over...Plus,, thats a lot of diameter on a lathe to keep true...
 
Here's a couple pics of the carnage. One is my hemlock in neighbors fence, other is big Douglass Fir that went across the road into our Upper Baker Dam.

They would get crusty if not cleaned regularly, since they have a liquid coolant that mixes with the metal and lays in the bed of the unit...
 
The utility I work for provides power for 10 counties, think we had over 300k outages in this storm.

Yep, glad I wasn't driving the road when it came down, no chance of walking away from that one!

Holly smoke that looks big and apparently dead looking at the branches. Do you just leave it lay or someone/you cut it up??
 
This tree nearly hit the neighbors cars/trucks parked in driveway, one electric BMW and a pretty cool truck, glad it missed everything but the fence.
 
My friend has one of the out door boilers to heat his house and shop. He burns everything in there trash, pine etc. Sucker puts out some heat. Similar to this.

Towtruck operator. He played dirty, and it caught up with him. sold out and left town.
 
I have a interesting one to build today. almost a full mechanical points distrib for a worked hemi, just to have if a emp burst takes out the electronics he has a Hemi car to get around with. Seriously, but I get it.
