Fireball tools video on manufacturing process

admin

Here is what I consider to be an interesting video on how his tools are made.It looks he has a new exta large combination square and a few other new tools coming out.Some here don't care for him or his toold. But I like them and how he started from his garage like others here. This video shows the progression of his squares. I plan on stopping by his booth at Fabtech next month Sent from my SM-G996U using TapatalkMillermatic 252 MIGMiller Dynasty 200DX TIGMiller Spectrum 625 PlasmaAltas 12x36 Metal LatheBridgeport Milling Machinewww.psacustomcreations.com

Reply:He's definitely got a good eye for design and thinking a problem out.I have some of his early DIY squares and like them.  I keep saying I'll get some more of his tools, but.... I really don't do enough fabrication to justify them.  A full set of his cast iron squares would be nice just to have on the wall in case I needed them.
Reply:I HAVE to have one of those squares! That thing is going to be awesome.I have a Lagasse square and it's ok but the cast aluminum feels kind of chinsy.

Reply:He definitely has a nice niche.  Creating and capitalizing off things many craftsman have done for themselves or recognize a need for.  I have some of their cast iron squares. That bar clamp is cool.  Might be nice,  since it I really have no use for it.  Then, I will only order a pair.  Years ago I wanted then lagasse,  but shipping was ridiculous at the time.

Reply:We had thought about this and then didn't think anyone would pay such astronomical money for them,,,,,, we were wrong.www.urkafarms.com
Reply:the price doesnt seem astronomical to me. the money it cost for the material , then the price of your time cutting and welding it together then the price of a machine shop to machine the surfaces flat again. cheaper to buy fireball stuffinvertig 221 water cooledhypertherm powermax 30xpfronius transpocket 180fronius transsteel 2200fronius iwave 230i water cooled
