Reply:I attended an absolute auction of a industrial machine manufacturing company and scored!  The arbor press was purchased for $130.00.   I bought 17 bessy "F" clamps, ranging from 8' to 12" for $65.00.   A rigid tri-pod pipe vise for $80.00.   50+lbs. of filler wire, including 8lbs. of NiCrMo-4, 20lbs. of 309L, for $20.00.I spent $1,000.00 for aprox. $11,000.00 of tooling.at first I felt bad due to the liquidation of the company but upon researching found out the owner sold out to an over seas comp and retired worth millions.Miller TrailBlazer 251Miller HF-250-1Miller MaxStar 150 STLHyperTherm PowerMax 380 plasmaLincoln PowerMig 180Millermatic 252Miller Diversion 180
Reply:Wow great find. I like it but a little slow. I always wanted to build a MAN size can crusher. I was thinking of an air cylinder and room for maybe 10 cans at a time. I'm lazy, I have 3 or 4 plastic 55 gal drums filled with uncrushed cans. I drilled holes in the bottom so the rain would wash all the sticky sweet stuff off to prevent bees and such. Anyways I have to put some thought into building one. I was gonna follow in the way of a truck sized oil filter crusher."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!! I sent him over to snag that MIC-4 while tbone wasn't looking!" - duaneb55"I have bought a few of Tbone's things unlike Stick-Man who helps himself" - TozziWelding"Stick-man"

Reply:Heck, I gave one just like that to my buddy a few years ago. I just never used it.
