Anything welding

We'll see in January I guess when they release more info. It comes with basic dies and I wouldn't think the back-gauge would be more than $1200? I'm hoping <$5,500 total. (which has been the sweet spot for their XR CNC plasma and MR-1 mill.)

 

Ah, I missed the part about it being included with dies.

I saw when they first streamed it on youtube and the availability to place a deposit on an order was opened.

Never did the video mention it coming with anything else.

A punch and die set for that thing can run you an easy $2-4k.

 

I think this is a game changer for independent folks who want to do fab in their home shop. Compare it to this:

$20k, it's only 33 tons, needs 3 phase, probably has inferior software, and looks like it was engineered by an intern. I've spoken to a couple folks who have this machine and say it bends metal, but their endorsement stops there. Silence speaks volumes.

You cannot even find a totally manual brake with these specs for this price! combine this with a small plasma table and you are making bumpers, armor, every bracket you could imagine on a truck.

Of course, the proof will be in the pudding. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

 

They mentioned being able to use it as a regular shop press too; that's fucking nuts

 

@Zebinator

You know you're gonna have to invite me to your house when you get yours

 

Not a regular shop press… a CNC shop press. “stroke 10mm at 3 tons” beep beep boop boop. Brrrsshhhhttt. Bearing inserted.

 

Tomato tomato you knew what I meant

 

“Get Bent” party invites to follow.

 

Crowd's a bit stiff, gonna have to find something better than that

 

What your not "moved" by the gesture

 

Yeah, difficult bunch to gauge.

 

Give me a brake here, I was just giving him a hard time

 

Not to worry, some of us are a little flexible

 

Ok this has to stop

 

Don't be so obtuse

 

Is that not some geometry term for some sort of angle.
You know all that fancy math figuring where things you hope would impact!

 

Thought it'd be accute pun you know?

way too much pressure here
