Lots of things deserve one post, maybe, that's going to be this - and anyone can join
And I'll start with what I'm just sold
My drill press - it's Taiwanese but it's actually a pretty nice machine that I sold for cheap. Why? I got a great deal, so why not pass it along - and it did, went to a kid who was just married and was where I was 10 years ago when I bought it.
In the background - I love that little saw EXCEPT it's really starting to get tired.... it may get upgraded to the larger version then I'll gift that to someone else (after I replace the brushes).... if I do that, then my bandsaw will probably get a new home as well...
and my vertical bandsaw
This one - it seemed like such a great idea, a wood saw that was converted to slower metal-cutting speeds. Problem is for heavy stuff, it'd constantly knock the blade off - so it got relegated to the corner, and I had to blow the dust off of it tonight.
Soon a couple welders are going to get replaced and the plasma for a larger one... all to gain room and capacity. they'll get a one post as well. I will admit that if there was ever one machine that I may just keep around "just because" it will be my Miller 175.... and who knows, if it doesn't sell for enough, everyone needs a spare MIG - maybe I'll just leave the aluminum spool on it....
