Title: If you had only one wish
Post by: themoose on May 20, 2014, 08:41:38 PM: If someone told you that you would be granted one wish for any new piece of equipment for you shop that you wanted what would it be? Personally mine would be for a nice compact CNC machine. Imagine the possibilities...... I'd probably not be seen outside the shop for weeks. What would be your piece of dream equipment?

I was reading the article in last months Street Rodder about the bench top one from Eastwood. It got a pretty good review for what it is. Just imagine the cool panels I could come up with.

Post by: sammons on May 21, 2014, 01:53:12 AM: Is all the above one wish? If not, trbomax's 22yr old maintanance item would be nice. I'm guessing made in the USA, but I didn't see it listed in the Eastwood catalog.lol

Actually, I've always wanted an english wheel. Never had one of those.

Post by: TFoch on May 21, 2014, 07:06:56 AM: If they were out of stock on the English Wheel I'd take a Water Jet or CNC Plasma Cutter :) I'll have to forward this to my wife for my birthday and Christmas list!

Post by: chopper526 on May 21, 2014, 03:43:23 PM: I am with Ghost, a quality tubing bender. No more pie cuts, bending and welding those cuts :)

Post by: YBNORML on May 29, 2014, 12:38:53 AM: Definately a hoist, I'm 6-4" and everything I build is as low to the ground as possible. A hoist would make things a lot easier.
