[SEL] @#$%! Chinese Tools

Mon Aug 21 06:00:44 PDT 2006

Why the hell would they use cast iron for a member that will be placed in 
tension?  That is just plain stupid.  I would just have someone flame cut a 
piece of heavy plate for the new platen.  I don't know how readily available 
steel is way out west but that is certainly the way to go.
