1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Nice setup man! Shop is getting dialed in! Floor press is the money shot. Table top is bullshit. Well worth $1000 to me right now. Depending on which finger I lose first though w current setup.. Maybe $2k if its a thumb. I like that one.

 

Thumb and middle definitely the most valuable

What's the current setup you're using right now? Think space is one of your constraints as well right?

 

Biggest regrets I have with mine are; it's so finicky to line everything up to get a square bend, plus the metal I used was only cold rolled, not actually hardened. It's been doing alright but it's super worn out lol

Glad it worked out and you ended up with it, you may not use it often but it'll come in soo handy when you do need it

 

Haaaaa! @Abeyancer setup made me jealous. Let’s just say that. Some variation of this is how I roll now. Had a bunch of close calls holding shit like this. As you can see on the damaged angle. Have 3/8 ones like that too.


I did finally figure out how to cut mandrel bends using these vise clamp things from Amazon. Work awesome! Clean cuts finally! Redoing exhaust for tenth time.

Anyone wanna give me there honest opinion on this muffler setup? Kinda have no choice if I want quiet.



shit. Just realized my bearings in rear may be loose. Got a little camber wear.

 

Fuuuuck...I'd just make the room and get a real press setup; too risky IMO.

And holy shit those are clean as hell cuts. It replaces the whole setup on your bandsaw? Link?

 

I don't want to go down a rabbit hole but sometimes I do want to get into hardening my own steel, just for those random times I want something 'stronger'.

And yeah that's exactly what I was mentioning earlier; I won't use it much and I don't expect it to make my money back at my rate...but it'll be SO worth it when I do need to use it.

I mean that's why we buy this shit right? Convenience.

 

Na man. They are literally just these. Put on side of bandsaw clamp. Game changer. That was with the gnarly steel blade too. Just did a test.

Ordered

 

Shit. Meant to tell you to get the longest ones you can. I got 6" I think. They are too short. Gonna step up to 10 or 12"

 

It's Amazon, you can cancel that shit real quick.

Or even order it, use it, and return it for a full refund.

 

They are so cheap. If you run across some bigger ones grab them though. I think they would even work well on the evo saw for bigger tube.

 

@eon_blue Thanks for that website link for the NHL casts. It's solid

 

I'm glad someone gets to enjoy it this far into the playoffs

 

I don't think anyone predicted a 2 year old team getting this far at all. But I'm happy they did

 

Ok Gary

I mean mevotech...really

 

Yeah they really made best of their expansion draft/picks, definitely not common to make it into the post season as a new team. Vegas made the finals in their first year and Colorado won it their first year in the 90s...but they were a franchise relocation from Quebec so not really the same thing

 

"I sell them" that line tells you all you need to know about the man... if you're hocking auto parts retail, you probably aren't qualified to make that call

 

I pulling for the Panthers the rest of the way. Up 2 on the leafs and heading home, that's a good sign.

 

If we pull this game out of our ass I have high hopes for the home games... but instead we're hitting people with sticks... been four Dallas power plays already

 

I wonder what he thinks about the Total Chaos lower uniballs
