admin

Heres a idea i came up with this morning while i was board..i'm sure you members will think of more stuff to make..Sorta like a trailer hitch..you can keep making "jigs" and whatnot and it stays out of the way..heres a cradle.. and what i use it for..same thing here but its a "head holder"the possibilitys are endless..next post.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:Hey zap,Put a cross-hole through the receiver tube and the attachment tubes for a standard trailer hitch pin to keep things from walking out of the receiver.  Or use a shoulder-bolt, back the nut with a big washer.  A regular bolt through the hole may work, but it or the hole may get buggered more easily depending on how much BFH persuasion is going on.Or, put a hole into receiver tube and weld a nut over the hole with an appropriate bolt into nut to act as a set-screw to keep the attachment(s) from walking out of the receiver.Your table looks like it has a 1 inch thick top?  Yeah, you can do some BFH action there.
Reply:Yeah,I've seen that in other forums. A piece of 2" (inner dimension ) square tubing welded to the table. You can mount your vise to a piece of 2" bar stock as well. For added 'security' you can drill a hole to use a trailer hitch pin to hold the item in place.

Reply:Zap,  That is pretty cool stuff. I made something like that a while ago to hold my buffing wheel and bench grinder.
Reply:Hey TJS-That's an unusual belt sander rig you have there.  I don't believe I've ever seen one like it before.  Is that an aftermarket add-on, or is it homemade?  If it's homemade, I suppose you incorporated a way to keep the belt tracking in check that we can't see?Just curious.Hobart 140 Handler w/ gasHyperTherm Powermax 380 Plasmaoxy/acetylene

Reply:Is it easy on-off, or pretty much a "leave it on" thing.  If the latter is true, why not just buy a belt sander and free up the grinder for a wire wheel?Hobart 140 Handler w/ gasHyperTherm Powermax 380 Plasmaoxy/acetylene
