2 and a half weeks and can't figure it out. I'm impressed, I think.

Paint between the two pieces absolutely can keep it from doing anything. You have to have conductivity all the way from one tong to the other.

Most headgear allow fore and aft adjustment. That said, I was never really happy with the headgear on my optrel. I like my Lincoln headgear better.

Well, tbf, if there was a vise on the table, it would also be moving.

If that's the case, he really hadn't tried very hard to get them to close. Or he's really going about it wrong. (And forcing them open farther is absolutely the wrong way to get them to close. Now, back to my popcorn...)

Ok, I'm just here for the show now. This is hilarious.

If only you had another thing that weighed a few thousand pounds that you could set on top of it...

Since the cylinder is laying on the ground, I think you might be right about that

Well, that depends on what you're using them for, or rather, which room in the house you're using them in. 😉 So I can toss the end over the load and it'll attach itself to the trailer on the other side for me? Sign me up!

Took so long for me to get to the bottom of the thread, I forgot what I read at the beginning! That said, it could be the dewalyt drills looked like DeWalt and fooled op. 🤔

What brand of drill are you using? Cheap drills from harbor freight might not hold an edge in anything harder than butter

I drew up plans to build something similar. Every time I have to move the vise, rotab, super spacer, or one of the big chucks, I revive the plans. Can't see spending real money on it but it does look handy.

already suggested using a vehicle to put weight on it, but OP seems intent on trying to open it farther.

you mean a neutral?

If you can't figure out how to position a floor jack so that it pushes against the top and bottom to try to get some movement, you shouldn't even be thinking about "modifying" these or anything else that involves safety! Sell them cheap and take your vehicles to somebody else for repairs!

How straight the bar really doesn't matter. The bottom of the casting may not be perfectly parallel to the top of the table, so you may have to shim it to get the top flat. Also, it doesn't take much to move the table that much. The table on the 17" saw at our makerspace wants to sag in front...

I've come to like retractable ratchet straps. Not perfect for every job but they work great for most. Also the little spring clip that holds the hook in place while I'm fighting on the other side of the trailer is handy

That "rib" is the bottom of the miter gauge slot.

Yesterday, during my welding class, I used one of the student's yeswelder hoods to see how it behaved. It worked as it should. Nothing remarkable about it, but it costs a lot less than my 3350s. The biggest difference was the fact that it's not a big window lens. I don't generally need the...

The top is only so thick. I don't think it's real 1/2" of warp, but the top is probably only 1/4" thick to begin with.
