Hey guys, Iv got these pneumatic rams from a old machine shop, and before I get rid of them, I was wondering what, if any, type of tools I can make out of any of them ? And could anyone give me some Idea of what there worth ? Thanks.
CAR-wise, I'm not seeing much. But you COULD maybe take that diamond plate looking foot pedal at the top and trace a footprint onto it and make a cool one-off gas pedal for your ride. The big black cylinder to the far right is a double-throw, push-pull type. Might be able to adapt it into a custom rack and pinion steering. The rest looks like a bunch of pneumatic cylinders from conveyors/sorting machinery, etc. I had shelves full of that stuff when I was a facility maintenance supervisor. I used to make all kinds of crazy shit with it. I say have some fun with it!
Mount a couple to your bench and use them to hold odd shaped or big pieces down while sanding or grinding.
