It¹s a Harbor Fright 20 ton press.What can go wrong with a press you ask? Hmph. I¹ll tell you.You know those big cast platens that you get with the press? The ones overan inch thick? Do you know the noise it makes when the frame of your pressis stressed out at 20 tons and then the platen breaks, releasing all thatenergy and sending shrapnel flying all over the place?It would probably be pretty cool if you weren¹t standing in the middle ofit. If you are, it ain¹t cool. Pictures of the bits athttp://www.rustyiron.com/boristhespider/Chinese-Junk.htmlIt¹s probably ok to use these for assembling your Tinker-Toys, but foranything serious, back it up with some real metal.=-=-=-=-=-=Rob SkinnerLa Habra, Californiahttp://www.rustyiron.comiChat: rob_skinner_______________________________________________SEL
