Picked up this used cabinet. The rear near the top has been dented in a bit. I took a couple of pics with flat bar so you can see how the rear at the top is pushed in, which caused top near the rear to bulge up.
Plan is to add casters, put on a plywood top and make this a drill press stand for a 80lb drill press. I saw this video from sixtyfiveford where he welds a bolt to the dent and pulls the dent out. Link to video: I guess that's the best bet? If there's an easier method, I'm all ears.Last edited by goggins; 5 Hours Ago at 10:41 PM.
Reply:The bad news is that the paint is most likely already cracked, so when you bring it back, it will still be susceptible to eventual surface rust in that area. You can bring it back without heat but in the process of bending, there is a certain amount of stretching involved so there will be stresses in the finish not yet evident. If it was powder coated at the factory, it may take a little more abuse. Rather than just beating directly on it with a hammer, try using blocks of wood to protect the finish from further small "stretches" where you are hitting it. You need to bring it back into shape dimensionally before you can bring the high spots down.The harder you fall, the higher you bounce...250 amp Miller DialArc AC/DC StickF-225 amp Forney AC Stick230 amp Sears AC StickLincoln 180C MIGVictor Medalist 350 O/ACut 50 PlasmaLes
