What Did You Buy Today?

All of the air driven hyd. press combinations I saw when I wanted to upgrade were only drive up to 10 tons. that may be the reason it's mounted on the12 ton bottle.

I've wanted these for years, but couldn't bring myself to part with the money because I always found a solution albeit frustrating. Last weekend I was inconvenienced for the last time. They are really nice!

Yeswelder ARC205-DS

All A36 steel:

(1) Four 5” X 10”, 1” thick bar,
(2) 10’ of 3/4” wide, 1/4” thick bar,
(3) 2’ 5” of Sch 40 6” pipe.

I went to the LSS for the plate welding coupons and backing strap bar, and I saw the pipe in the scrap bin! I guess that I will have 6” pipe welding coupons now.

$242 for everything, including tax.

I will the bevels & landings on the the plate & pipe just as soon as I wrap up my current project.

Finally getting around to replacing tools that grew legs around other people. I had a collection of Armstrong ball pein hammers from the early '80s, now I don't, so I've started replacing them with Vaughans, because American hickory feels best in the hands. I still need a few more.



My second accomplishment of the wallet was piecing together a wee starter kit for knurling on the new lathe.



I couldn't keep the song out of my head. I changed it to "Knurls, Knurls, Knurls!" to suit the occasion:

Not sure... the seller was not there... he just left everything in the garage for me to pick up. His wife open the garage and told me that all that was mine... It is a 20-Ton press that comes originally with a manual 20-Ton bottle... I left the air driven 20-Ton bottle jack in place.



So these become spares in case that 20-Ton bottle fails...

The 12-Ton looks to be fairly new and like it has not seen use...



And this is what the press originally came with... again, looks like he took it off as soon as he got it...



I have a smaller 12-Ton press as well, but that one now goes to a friend... much smaller and less rigid for my liking...

Got an ER32 chuck for the Logan 820...I like its compact size... Anyone here with the same setup??



Saw it in a video from a channel I follow...He went with ER25... but since I already have ER32 collects, went with that size instead...

I was waiting for these to be back in stock... Got an email over the weekend that they are back! So I ordered one. Sold by a fellow forum member.
