It is going together pretty well, I will finish it up later today, the quality is very good "top shelf" at a price that pretty much anyone needing to bend something can get $450 with the purchase of a hf 20 ton press is really good

Just to add to an earlier comment...

EVERY brake is a "finger brake" if you don't get your hand out of the way...

How long does that take to assemble and weld up?

dzljon · Wed Jan 28, 2015 5:50 pm

Couple hours, if you mig weld probably faster
