the castors on my homemade battleship grade work table started to destruct,, ordered a tool base as the castors were welded on by who-ever made this.. grinder and a big hammer removed the castors, the base assembled to a tight fit and should work well (doesn't more when bumped now) mounted the 3in1 and informed slim that the rollers could take away one of his dimensions!!! Arbor press arrived today, still have to decide on its mounting place,, looking at small vises in the 3-4 inch range that will fit my needs.. also may add hinged work suface to the side of the table.(should have all the needed materials already)

My Lord! To say I'm impressed is an absolute understatement! Such talent. And more importantly, patience!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing!
thanks, keeps me sane or insane, or at least out of the bars... do to where my shop is I'm limited on shop time, this doesn't allow for fast working, but it does force me to think about things and try to plan stuff out.. (lots of rough sketching, but hopefully less of "well that didn't work")

turned out another pair of parts in a few minutes now the the tools are set and quick change is living up to the name.. did get a 1/16" wide T profile cut off blade with the new stuff,, works very fast and nice,, will have to add a .040" one to the next order.. having the tach is also great..
