I've had several of the basic ones in our commercial fab shop for about 7 years now. Haven't replaced anything. They all still work as new.

Awesome kyrbz! Knarp led me to adjustable cable lock barrel clamps. Now we know.

Trying to find replacements for these barrel nuts with holes for adjusting wire rope. Or at least the proper name. Thanks

Nilfisk. Have one in our shop and get used every day for the last 5 years. Metal, fiberglass, wood, you name it. Quiet, strong, and has a powered outlet. We use it with track saws and works great.

Take a look at Henkels transportation adhesives. Call the rep on the phone and tell them what you want to do, they're super helpful and have hundreds of different adhesives for bonding metal. Under shear the strength is amazing. No reason for fasteners in most applications.

If you're really serious make sure you call the rep. Shipping for my two 4x5s to California was about $350 cheaper than the online cart quote. Amazing quality tables.

This is GarageJournal! Just buy your last lathe now and save all the money and time. Its an endless slope. Pens turns into bottle stoppers turns into pepper mills turns into bowls and on and on! http://www.turnrobust.com/sweet-16/

Fein is another option. You wont go wrong with any of them, they're all very similar. Find whats best price and go for it. We us ours weekly for tubing and even 1"x4-6" bar withot any issues

What dr clyde said, save longer or look for used units. Even older units still receive great support. Jim Colt is an amazing resource, not sure if he is on GJ but he is on several others and will give you his personal number and talk you through any issues you could ever have. You will hear...

Throwing my hat in too!

Shouldn't be any thing special to rebuild. Its $800 so even if a rebuild cost a couple hundred bucks should still be a decent price.

Hi all Going to look at a MD6XP, looks clean in pics, but seller states rams leak when above second lock position. My questions is does this sound like general wear? Specifically with them leaking when extended. I know to look for wear or damage on the rods but I have never looked at a lift...

Probably spray transfer??

Happy Thanksgiving All Have the older style pressure pot blaster from HF. New hoses new fittings, Home made end consisting of ball valve with cone tips. 3/32 1/8 tips. Running a 7.5 hp 80G IR compressor. My problem is when I run it the sand is coming out soft enough to put a bare hand in...
