    Hey kind of an odd ball question but I wasnt sure where to ask. You thin I can wash my welding blanket in my washing machine without damaging it considering all the metal shavings in it. The reason being a damn cat pissed on it and it smells like ass

    I think you'd be better off with a hose. But do check if it's coated with any retardant before you wash it.

    u more than likely need to have your blanket dry cleaned. It will retain the flame retardant that way

    Mine is made out of Fiberglass so I wouldn't think it would do well in the wash.

    Yeah I'm looking into picking up a 48" Iroquois 100 ton Brake in the fall (I hope) Id like to go bigger but I just don't have the room for a bigger brake and I think the 48" will be good for what I do.

    I have it and it's awesome i use it every day but DON'T use it with the factory arbor plates they will shatter. I bought mine from Battlementfab for about $150.00 I also have the air over hydro 20 ton jack in mine it makes it so much faster.

    I use one in the shop as well. I did the air/hydro upgrade recently like Jerry is using and its totally worth it. Faster and more accurate bends, and a whole lot less work to bend stacks of plates! lol.
    I've been using the HF arbor plates on mine so far, but have been meaning to upgrade to some better plates.
