What Did You Buy Today?

Nice, I've been keeping my eye out for one of those for a welding/frame building table. May end up making one. I'm betting you will get a lot of use out of it. It's nice to be able to do things at a comfortable height. Mike

The boss is checking it over lol The neighbor helped me unload it . If you’re wondering why we have the garage door op it because inside is 27 degrees and 36 outside lol

Nice piece of equipment.

Does it have positive mechanical locking features that will prevent it dropping in case of a catastrophic air system/cylinder failure?
If it does, please use them without fail (pun acceptable).
If it does not, please use it for lifting only and support the load by some other suitable means.
 
Yes it has lock but only one .. I would like to have multiple stops , it’s supposed to be warmer Tuesday if you can call a high of 36 degrees warm lol
 
The newer mid rise ones have multiple stops , on the above ground lifts I’ve used it comes in handy working in different positions, say lowering to install tires comes to mind first . I’m sure it will be similar with this one.

TPG 321/322 old school. did you have a bunch of old stock?

No, the TPG inserts are just inexpensive, multipurpose inserts... I have boring bars and an indexable end mill already.

I've used them on several different materials from aluminum to cast iron to inconel and 17-4 ph.
