Last spring I found what was left of a Cheshire & Greenfield "trimmiter," which is a small trimming saw used for linotype at an estate sale for $5 and couldn't say no.? It's missing the arbor assembly, but even if it was complete, the table is only about the size of a laptop, so it's usefulness would be limited.? Anyone still using linotype probably already has one, or something similar.

So the question is: what should I do with it?? I'd like to repurpose it as another machine tool, while keeping it as original as possible.? It's about 4' tall, heavy and solid.? The height of the table can be adjusted 5" or and there is a motor mount on the base. Someone suggested a stand for grinders, but I already have three grinders on another stand (one is bolted to the top of it, and the other two pivot on top of an extension welded to the side of the stand, so they can be positioned as needed).? I also considered putting a surface plate on it, but that's a lot of weight, and it would be offset, which might make it tippy.
