Anyone need a very used 12 ton press or a 14" abrasion saw. They both have issues but work. Tired of stepping around haven't used them since they were moved to second string.

Cost = your ride

I'm afraid to look at the price.
 
Must be a scam or a bad link. Shows $39.99...
 
I am thinking Scam
 
Just got off the phone with Heather from Metals Depot in KY. Last week I bought a 3/4" and a 7/8" cut length of TGP. The 7/8" came turned but not much else. I sent them a photo and they're sending me another tomorrow. I would highly recommend them for metals to anyone needing stock.

I'd much rather buy from Alro in Charlotte, but due to the government paying people not to work, they can't get their plant open.
 
Made this tool yesterday to do a job with @Fort Knox . Can anyone guess what it's for? Two plasma cut plates (top is 5/8" a36, bottom is 1/4" a36) with two lathe turned tubes, all glued together.

Hmmm, press fixture for rear ( sealed ) wheel bearings?

That didn't take long, lol. Exactly right. We tried pressing out the first axle shaft and bent the spare brake backing plate into a pretzel, so we built this tool to press the rest without damage. Worked a treat.
 
The one you fabricated works for which model Toyota?
Built it specifically for 2nd gen 4runner axles, but it should work for other mini models as well.
 
Finally got the last piece of inventory over the weekend. After a 26 hour trek to PA and back through a most ridiculous rainstorm in VA, the surface grinder is finally home. It's a Thomson model D manual 6x18.

Now all I have to do is take it apart and remove all the stuff that's inside that shouldn't be there. This thing is a beast, even though it only has a 30x30 inch base, it weighs a ton! I couldn't have moved it without some help from the nice folks at Sunbelt.
