Funny....I didn't even think about the OTHER handle.....yes....those are very hard to find. I ordered a new one from Roper awhile back and they sent me one just like yours

You might get lucky though and find one someday....good luck.

Machine looks like a fine addition to your shop. But that cold Bud light is still full and cold. Nice way to celebrate the equipment's new home.

Been awhile since Ive been online. I snapped a couple pics of some stuff I had laying around. Do any of these handles look like what you are looking for? I think the "S" shape handle fits a Niagra 36" roll, non-slip.

Nice looking work on your restorations! I think somewhere around here is a pic of my 36" slip roll that I did a half-assed job 'restoring'.

I think he is looking for the top handle that screws down to compress the rolls. Your machine has some original ones that he could probably use.

That top handle in the third pic, is what those handles were built like yrs. ago Scriber. I have that same handle on two other machines. It's just amazing how everybody had to cut corners to compete with this Asian machinery. Hell, even Japan has to sub out to China.

Lol... that makes a little more sense to me now. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with your handle. I'll take a look around and see how many of them I have. I think I have one or two more that arent pictured.

I dont mean to hijack your thread Marc, but will somebody take a look at this "serpentine shear" and tell me what the hell I would ever use it for? I dont ever remember using this thing. I think it says "Lennox No.0" on it.

roofermarc · #17 05-18-2012, 06:26 AM

I just seen this, isn't this of the "throatless" variety! I have never used one, Although I would probably like to add it to my collection of other shears I have no use for. I wouldn't ask a person to part out a complete tool just to fuel my addiction of having an appropriate part, but if you have one extra lying around I would be interested. Thanks, and I edited this 4 times. Lot of time on your hands when the job market is looking bleak.

Yeah I really have no idea what I would ever use this thing for. I suppose I could find a place to mount it and use it to cut my radius fittings. Seems like a waste of time though considering I'm so used to cutting them by hand. Got any idea what its worth? I dont. I'll weigh it later and try to get a pic of the nameplate. I'll also try to dig through my other stuff and see if I have any handles.

I got a little better pic of the top of this thing. I think I have your email. I'll try to send it. In the meantime, look what I found. Judging by mine, your top handle isnt too far off. I wouldnt be embarrassed by it for sure.

Looks to be the same kind of machine, do you want to get rid of the whole machine? you can email me IL Tinner, thanks.
