    Got it out of the truck. This sucker is heavy. Could NOT move it around. So made a couple supports and added heavy duty casters. NOW I can move it.

    Re: Got a new tool yesterday!

    I thought those were made by making the hole (drill, punch, ect), then using a ball-ended part and reciever to radius them?

    Or maybe it's how crap ends up if you use a blunt punch and oversize die. ... mark it up and call it trick ...

    Good for you Johnny. Congrats on getting it and being able to afford to upgrade your business.

    "The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
    -- Alexis de Tocqueville

    "One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."

    I do have my 5 ton Bantom iron worker for sale, it should pay for at least half of this one. Had a few calls but no takers yet.

    You know, now that you mention it I believe I've seen this done with a conical wooden dowel and a die exactly as you describe! Hmm...probably what fueled my original statement, though it was a bit more complicated. Engineers...what ya gonna do? LOL

    Re: Got a new tool yesterday!

    Yah, you could definitely make a rig to do it in one operation with a bevelled die and round shouldered punch..... or you could make a 1:6 scale english wheel and employ gnomes to hand finish them..

    The dimpled holes do add rigidity to a piece of sheet metal

    Re: Got a new tool yesterday!

    I use this machine mostly to make the 1st gen Dodge diesel engine mount that for some reason started selling quite well.
    And it sure is nice not to drill some things, just walk over, switch it on and 2 seconds later the hole is there.
    Like for making brackets, etc.
    Use it for cutting angled steels, long flat pieces in to short correct lengths.

    NEW items? I have a thread I post on what's new.

    I can get what ever Prothane makes. I know they are coming out with LX parts.
    4 or 5 companies are doing things for them...even energy suspension.
