i couldnt find it but whatever, im happy the guy took off $30!

and today the HF "heavy duty grinder" went on sale for 10 bucks... heh... just happens to days before my exchange. i thought i was getting a MORE expensive one for free, but hey at least i have A grinder now.

oh and their HF press is on sale for 50.

sign up for their email-able sales cupons!

yea i should sing up for that inside track thing. kinda wan't this it just makes me wan't a press 2x as much. i know its only for plastic and wood, and that the reviews are horrible, but i bet i could at least manage aluminum if i wen't really slow, handy for using that tapered shaft engine, or making your own key, if only it was cheaper.
with the hf prices, makes you think how much it cost to make a press these days.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

yea, most pieces are plastic.

i guess it costed ryobi about 15-20 bucks.

harbor freight maybe 10.

and yeah your right well maybe there is a different one to do shaft's on.

found another one of those clamps for 30 bucks, reviews are just as bad, but thats like a weeks worth of money, so......., yeah. could prob even manage some light duty lathe stuff, buy 3/4"(or slightly larger) stock, make into a perfect cylinder, make key way, then bolt on the hub you just made. a lot of work, but a whole lot of savings.

Yea lol im kind of impatient when it comes to drilling.

Like i was trying to get througg metal and it wouldnt cut so i pulled te lever real hard... It went SQUEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAKKKKK sounded like 1,000 birds dying

 

[redsox985]

Or 1 drill press dying.

 

[r97]

your bits prob don't last long, make sure you use the speed chart, and its good to use some drilling oil

 

[Bluethunder3320]

ahh yeah i should get some but im flat broke now, well actually like $20 in debt.

oh and im almost out of welding wire dam!

 

[redsox985]
