Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

Forgot to mention this. This is on the Siemens reps work truck! I told him I’d run to wal mart and buy him a new vise and swap with him but he wouldn’t bite.

 

Nice vise

 

They're all over at my work, I've got 2 in the machine shop. I forget how much$$$ last time I priced one. If I had to guess, $800.00
I'd like to get a Ridgid pipe clamp for the steel table in the machine shop. Bet they aren't cheap either

 

The guy said he thought his boss paid either $800 or $900 for it. I just couldn’t imagine buying a nice tool like that and letting it live on the back of a truck to get ruined.

 

Agree, it is a really nice tool. The Wilton "Bullet" is designed just for the roughest, dirtiest service with a completely enclosed spindle, he couldn't have a better tool for the job than the Bullet.

I have seen hundreds of vices on the back of service trucks, if kept sprayed down with some oil they last ok back there. A solid handy vice saves time on a job and makes money, in the end it is an item that can be written down on the tax forms too.

 

I see no issue with a vice on the back of the truck. It can handle it just fine.

If it's used, it will work perfectly.

 

Weak pressure plate? I had a Ford that had a weak one, wasn’t slipping but was giving trouble. 5 hour job with my brother and a friend helping, $450 clutch if I remember correctly.

 

That’s awesome. I figured you had it boiling so you could scare people with the whistle

 

I used to have a good one mounted on a receiver hitch that I kept inside. It’s now mounted on the back of my welding trailer but lives in the shed most of the time.

 

I wish... not sure MOT would be onboard with that!

Spent many hours watching Red Green late nights on PBS years ago, thanks for the morning laugh.

 

Good Monday morning friends! Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and break, if you got one. The one thing I love about thanksgiving is the Friday poop afterward, they don’t get much better than that after eating so much

 

Morning all
Waiting for relief shift to get here, you guys have a good day

 

...you just never know what the new topic is going to be in here...

There might be a poll in there somewhere.

 

Gentlemen and discussers of poop

 

Good Monday morning.
Supposed to be 70 degrees out later today. Seems like a very mild start to the winter season here. It's been like 20° above average several days now.
My 5th and last day off today or back to regular schedule until Christmas.
Need to try n be more productive today after yesterday
I've got deer rifle about cleaned and needs put back in the safe. Could straighten the reloading room some too...that sounds like a reasonable start anyway.

 

Good morning Shane and company. In for the poo conversation, I just had that discussion myself.

 

Unless you gag the groaner. Kinda takes the satisfaction out of the experience...
