what is this called some sort of forge

[@Turbo]

recently came into this item of plant I know it is some sort or gas hearth it is made by ALCOSA model GF021 it has its own compressor for air. shame it is 3 phase. the top table spins as well.

neat wee thing if it was single phase.

anyway here is a pic.

any idea what it is worth?

When you say the table spins, do you mean it can rotate or it spins continuously under power?

 

[@Turbo]

you can rotate it. I dont think it has a drive.

heres a site selling them http://anvils.co.uk/products/list/19

I think the one in your picture is a bottom blast forge

 

[@Turbo]

yea it looks like that sort of thing the compressor on it is small affair for the hand torch not like the blower type. shame there is no picture of my model perhaps it has been discontinued.

its just a brazing hearth with compressed air and gas torch with turntable top ,can still be used without supplied torch using oxy acetylene torch or any propane gun . break up a few fire bricks to use and retain the heat round your work piece and your in business

Flamefast is the make most often seen these days. I have a couple of gas and air torches I just use my own compressor.
