I've been going through my late fathers machine tools, bits, hardened tools and he had A LOT! Most tools are very old. But, all the tools look brand new. Here's what I'd like to know if anybody is up on this....? I'm not looking for exact prices but just general in nature. Today I finally separated everything.
1. I have all the different mikes, calipers, and machine bits separated. I contacted a local machine shop to look to see what they might be interested in. No return call in 4 days after contact.
2. I have about 50 lbs. of solid (clean) brass.
3. I have about 10 lbs. of solid copper.
4. I have about 4 lbs. of solid lead.
5. I have about 250 lbs. of hardened machine metal. Lave tools, drill bits, files, drill chucks... and much, much more.
6. I have about 100 lbs. + of nuts, bolts, washers and other various metals.
7. I have about 50 lbs. of old insulated copper wire. From #4 to #16. Most is heavy gauge (4-6 gauge).
I was just curious if it was all worth the effort to separate all this metal. I have NEVER sold an ounce of metal in my life (except gold). Any opinions or facts would be appreciated. Thanks... Brad
