The press is an OTC, keeping fairly busy I hope it stays like this awhile.

A few shots from today, a SE280 with a pump drive coupling failure.

 

[The Peej]

nice work Tom. how lucky that the coupling broke with such good access to the machine. I think if it was mine it would have been in the mud up tight against a tree

 

[The Peej]

last time a machine threw a track on me I had to cut the fence to get it out

 

[HDMRice]

A c-clamp on the idler to lift it out!

Genius.

It's the little tidbits like that, that keep me coming back.

I figure you made the torch adaptor you’re yourself from a gas profiler head. But can you tell what wire you use in your feeder unit to give you gasless MIG/MAG. I take it’s one of inner shield range or similar. But which one do you use.

That's something I made up for cutting off Akerman sprocket rings, and yes made the bevel also.

Thanks, here are a few more pics. Ended up having to extract broken bottom roller bolts, didn't take too many pics.
The most popular size rod I use with the center hole rams is 1 1/4"-7.
