My "Industrial rubbish" is mostly from where I work. There was a recent factory clear out as the business was split into three seperate parts. I magaged to rescue some old camera positioning systems that were used on some of our printing presses. Some other stuff I got from a local scrap metal dealer. I asked at work, where our rubbish goes to (Scrapped machine parts etc...). Turned out the place that takes them is only a mile up the road. They collect scrapped machine parts from alot of local firms, mostly they seem to let them rust away.
I ended up with 7 sets of linear slides of varying suitability.
It's always worth finding out where the rubbish goes. |
