Should we get the "You Suck!" image ready? Or are you going to leave us guessing??Been awhile since I've drug anything home. Interesting little power hacksaw, wilton drill press, and a little 5 ton hydraulic press. Never cared for the production table drill presses but couldn't say no for the price.

Everything was 80 bucks. Also got a safety clean parts washer that seems decent and about 50 various Vaughn hammer handles. It was a neighbor moving so I assume they are happy not take it with.
Yes. The hacksaw is pretty cool, it works rather well after changing the wiring. The press is interesting also...it works but I will rebuild the cylinder as it leaks and the spring to retract the ram isn't connected. It's inside there still, I took the top off. I also was given the prints for the press. Neither the press or the saw seem like common items as I couldn't find much info. It's usually these odd items that peak my interest and come home with me
Pardon my stupidity, (too much sun?) but can't you make those parts on your lathe? They're roundy things, right? Do they have special bearings? It's hard for me to tell through the wrapping.
Oh, indeed they are. Roundy and aluminium-y. And all under 8" diameter, at that.
Fair enough, raw material cost here vs imported machined goods imported and shipped from China. Dunno, how it's so much cheaper, though. Has to be some sort of subsidies involved.
Well, maybe subsidies. There's also economy of scale, and cheap labor.
