  1. I use it for : texturing, drifting, splitting but man ... they are just dangerous so if there is another alternative use the other BTW i have to of them both 10Tone ) only use one .ohh when they get jamed they get jamed ...i once spent about 2 hours to loosen it up not very fun KEEP THE FINGERS AND HANDS OUT OF THE WORKING PLACE ALL THE TIME !
  2. Hmm i don't have one Need to start thinking deep about it ! :)
  3. Funny... go to a car service and see how much they charge for hour... go to a lawywer and see how much.Ask your customer how much he makes/hour actualy the lawywer the barber and so on is your customer. BUT there are 3 kinds of customers 1. Customer with not a lot of money. 2. Customer with a lot of money and willing to pay. 3. Customer with a lot of money that don't want to pay. It's a shame to loose any of them.The most problematic are the no^3 A week ago i had a customer... It was the 3rd or 4th time that he came to the shop to ask about the price for some gates that he wanted. (2...3 month before was the 1st time that he came ) He came toghether with his wife ...asked me again the price i tolde him X USD ..well he got so mad that i was charging him ,,that much'' that he went outside the office had a smoke (BTW in my office smoking IS alowed i have an ashtray on my desk ) walked arround came back in for it;s wife ...asked me if i can do it cheaper i sayed NO ! he left again, and after an hour or so he came back with the 50% of the value to start the job . BTW every customer that you satisfy will probably bring you another customer. It's a shame to let them walk but most of them come back if u are polite and present him the benefit that he has buying your products
  4. I have a electro BRAKE motor 3phase (it's suposed to stop exactly when u cut the power )and the controlers made for it at 12V-Joystick and relays now all conected ... also the motor has a reducer 32 RPM final speed . i'll get some pictures if u want to see where i am .Do u also use electro brake motor ?
  5. Hmm i don't have a Guilotine in my shop but u are so excited about it .Maybe i shoud build one !
  6. Do u get all the scrolls even ? No need to calibrate them later ? Do u have reverse ?
  7. John : that's a good advice I'll have to try 10x a lot
  8. Some times a penny can worth more than a dollar ! I am also happy for your junior you deserv some good news ! Same as this section on the forum does !
  9. It's sad when kids become victims ! My thought's are in that direction ! May GOD take care of those in need !
  10. Bob does the ''spinig'' stops when u stop pushing the button ? or u have a counter that counts how many rotations the machine made and every time it stops at a given amount of rotations ? I am also into building one right now ...but it will take some time until i find the time to finish it ! ...Right now i am building the counter and the software for it
  11. Nice looking curly hair and nice dish ! I bet your brother likes it ! no present that you buy from any shop has a bigger value than something that you make yourself for the person !
  12. :) I have seen copper turned / soled as gold in Romania There was a time that you coud buy golden rings at every corner from old gypsy womans !
  13. Nice ! haven't seen one like that yet ! 10x for sharing.
  14. Very much thanks for your suggestion guys ... The only problem is time into making the rollers but i hope i will find it as soon as posible seems that is the only way to straighen up hundreds of meters as fast as posible this are the rollers that I already made for arching different size of materials ... seems to be the same +2more rollers ... here is the pic of the ones i already did
  15. All your sugestions depend of the operatpr if he oresses the lever to mutch ...it bends if he hits to hard it bends .... i was thinking about something where u don't have to be to skilfull :)
  16. Hmm i was thinking of something like this. What do u think will it work with square tubing ? I have many meters to straighen up and it takes more to do that than to texture .... i was thinking about motorizing 5 rollers and use something like that Hmm i also found this design
  17. Well my problem is like this ... i have a lot of stock that after texturing is bent in many directions ...some is square pipe other are flat bar ...round ...all kinds of steel ... are there any kinds of rollers or something to straight them up ? any ideas of how can i do them ?
  18. Seen this ? YouTube - Spike Jones - Blacksmith Song
