Yes just want to see some pics.

Can you share your hutch setup please? Mine's just arrived and I'm in need of some inspiration. :bowdown:

I just use a normal pedestal grinder with a dedicated Alu oxide wheel. And turn my grinders by hand. About 10-20 at a time depending on the job / time available etc. We had one of the corded table top sharpeners in college. It was mega expensive new and kept breaking as people used it day in and...

I’d upgrade. EPIQ is the evolution of the KRL series. You won’t be disappointed

Teal. Teal. Teal. TEAL!

Those are pressed spigots. There’s no tool as they are not designed to come apart.

I had this feeling for a while but it went away as I kept using the toolbox. At first I thought it was inanely expensive for what is essentially a glorified KRL. I mean Epiq is only marginally bigger than KRL. There just isn’t a great deal of difference unlike say Epiq vs Heritage. So for a...

Dream box this! Saying this as an owner of 84” Epiq.

Not surprising at all. I use our shop engine crane for moving and lifting almost anything that can be lifted and rolled. Car batteries is one examples. Very handy piece of kit if you’ve got room to deploy it.

Thanks all. I spoke to a wrapping company that quoted more than it would make sense to spend on this job so I will try to give it a go myself.

I don’t like it that much to deal with reselling and repurchasing. At half of the money I can live with vinyl being a little different. Just not completely different.

Mines green with black trim. His is grey with titanium trim. I don’t really need it but it’s there available immediately so no waiting time.

So a buddy of mine across the shop is leaving the trade. A few months ago he ordered a workcenter for his 84" EPIQ which has now arrived and not going to be used (he already provisionally sold his toolbox). The workcenter is on a pallet, brand new and wrapped. It's a completely different color...

I must be a fool then. And you are... a diyer/toolworshipper? Not all of us wrench for fun. Sometimes (and only sometimes) needs must and tools are replaceable...

True story that ^^^. The several toolboxes my friend who owns a machinist shop has are full of cheap, no name or “famous now made overseas” hand tools. It’s shocking. His vices however are predominantly Kurt though. They (the machinists) just don’t get it I guess but truth of the matter it works...
