Would love to dig a trench around my property ...then cover it....And put a warning saying as much.....And watch how many "smart" people experience it....but I think I would get sued....

Guess I should just stick with putting a fence up....Nothing really deters people out here...if you do find something that works....you most likely get sued for implementing it.

bought me lunch lol

Here is the 3 stooges moments after they're initial...IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OFFICER!....All three arrested. Van Impounded lol....

Need to start a wall of shame at local market

girl is in front seat lol

Keep this in mind. Abrasive chop saws often don't cut "thick" stock well. The waste can't clear the cut and it smears and loads the blade matrix. At that point the blade won't cut well at all. Once loaded up though the blade will not cut well until the loaded surface is removed.  Just like with a bench grinder you may need to dress the wheel to expose new clean abrasive. A waste chunk of concrete or hard stone will often wear away the loaded part of the wheel and restore it's ability to cut well again.

Looking at the pict with the ruler in it, I'd have to rate those rods as "thick" and easily able to load up an abrasive saw blade and reduce it's ability to cut well. I'm betting that, not necessarily being "hard" was the problem.

I haven't used chop saws all the much.....what you said makes sense...especially since the way I had to cut the pieces follows your line of scenarios...will try the cleaning of the wheel. 

I have a nice hand held dewalt metal band saw...do you think that would have better luck at cutting it?

One less person I have to worry about taking my stuff lol

(good neighbors gotta look out)

definately will report back...no matter if I crash and burn with it...

WISH I had a power hammer...

Thought of building some version of it, 

Working outside in my garage organizing my metal working and wood working areas...trying to seperate the two more...and around 3pm middle of day! Van pulls into my closest neighbors place....Well no one stays there, but its his second home....they acted like a clean up crew...But I seen a guy with some bolt cutters hit a gate...so I called my neighbor and asked if he has guest there or whatever...Nope! So called the sheriff.

3-5 Minute response time! In middle of Desert! AWESOME! ONE LESS PEST IN THE AREA! Heard they're getting big charges against them...2 guys and a girl. Deputy pulled in and cut them off as they tried to pull out...Might bring some pics to the local market have them posted...

Night or Day...Pay attention everyone...never know!

french remind me of a shuffle board without the sides...

I need to figure out how I want to utilize it first then see if I have the room before I proceed....

this is the first i've heard about graphite powder's in any form...especially as a type of dry "lubricant" ....I have a tractor supply around...will check it out...

Need to feel my grandfather out see if he knows about it (97yrs old) might score some cool points with him...if I show him something he hasn't seen...since its so hard to do...

He just finished a 64 1/2 mustang restore...but he does alot of wood work...and has a simliar vise. Might have bring it over to him..

Its about the same size of a galaxy 6 cell phone but 2 inches longer....i can't imagine it hold any motor or trans but lol.... hey i'll go with it

really small....It tips/leans sideways when I put a 12 pack of soda on

Im getting great info here. but will continue to look...

I think I might have to build another table for it...

I didn't know it had to be flush....food for thought...

ok... I guess, only if you learn the lesson here lol

I hope I find a indian chief vise one day....they just sound cool...

it has the quick slide on it...thought it was interesting

will have to think how i want to utilize it...

Do you use oil or grease on yours? (even though it says no oil on screw)?

couldn't pass on it for $15 

Wood working right?

Any info is appreciated...

Well a couple questions about it...it says no oil on screw on vise...does this mean no grease too? 

And it mounts upside down I guess under the table on how  it looks ....

But far as I've gotten.... Just picked it up a few hours ago....

Went to swap meet today...found a couple things....

Well its a lift of some sort....But...is it a toy or tool?

you got ripped off...as a courtesy I will bail you out...Just bring on over and i will bite the bullet for you. 

Super cool man!

i will tell him. Thanks!

A friend just sent me this picture...asked me what it was....So I'm throwing this over here because I don't know...

there is a arm and hammer type logo if that helps..

well a arm with a hammer

I feel better after hearing the remarks here....Might consider a piece practicing a hammer I had in mind...Just to see how it moves..

looks galvanized?

Not much left if it is...I will take proper precautions when using reguardless.

Thank you both...

Well as it stands now...I can barely chop saw it....one of the hardest pieces of steel i've come across ...

I have 4140 and 1045 and a few other steels laying round.... and this is different than what i have at hand...seems denser...

Was hoping it would be good for hammers because  of its current state...

dense forking soon as it sparks...and its more like 1 to 2 ft out..
