The ram pictured is a 30 ton and 1 1/4" B7 alloy rod, with my 60 ton I use 1 5/8" B7 rod, and with my 100 ton I use 2" B7 rod. Good luck.

I see I am not the only one, I really enjoy seeing what he is working on. When he is done it looks better than new, people in the east are very lucky to have such a talented person.

Tom,

I have a few questions for you, if you have the time to answer.

1. Do you do any other "on-site machining", shaft turning, keyway cutting? Any need for that stuff?
2. Would self shielding wire do as an effective job. I live on the east coast of VA, windy all day.
3. Owning a service truck with a crane, are there any certifications required to operate the crane(besides common sence)?
4. How much insurance do you carry, 1 - 2 million or more?
5. Do you need a summer intern ;)

Thanks for your time,

Mike

How the hell did they Manage to break a Thumb?

Easy Reid, I've seen it happen, pin retainer comes loose, pin sneaks out of hole, operator keeps working machine (baffles me), then, bent/broken thumb.
