The entrance to the auction. The surrounding countryside was really nice. The business operated out of two trailers, a pole barn and several containers.
Some of the buildings had less than perfect integrity -- lots of water damage.
These are a CNC metal cutting chop saw and a vibratory tumbler for removing marks and sharp edges. The tumbler was about six feet wide, you could take a bath in it.
Some of the several thousand sets of molds used in their products. These are each two disks of polymer that has been cast and then vulcanized to harden them. They are spun rapidly while molten metal is poured into the center. The centrifugal force flings the metal into every part of the mold creating a finely detailed casting. Some of the work at the place was gorgeous.
These air compressors went for under $1,000 each... They list for five to seven thou each. If I had 20 amps of three-phase in the shop, one of these puppies would be coming home with me. All in all a fun day but I am tired and ready for an early evening...
You could always buy a phase converter to use single-phase power with three-phase equipment.
