You guys are the BOMB! Thank you for your help! That literature is great!

Yeah, this one’s kinda weird. I am with all of you on your replies on this. I was thinking it might be a good stand for my Ford flathead V-8 project coming up, or at least a cleaning stand. I am a bit partial to my worm drive rotating stand that I switched to since my H-F stand with a Model T...
