Their HAFCO woodworking machines are a bit that way too .. I'm sorry I bought one .. Had to go and buy a Triton later so I could cut reasonably straight .... M

I have had my eye on one of these for a while.

Think I'll be in trouble if I buy one though.

That's a neat idea, haven't seen it before. I have a large linisher like that and they are great. It would be good for dressing up tube after you have notched it but to linish the whole notch it would make a fair mess, use up belts and get the tube mighty hot IMO

Haven't used one in that brand before, but an American version.
1 5/8 0.083" wall 4130 would notch it at a 45* in under 10 seconds, effortlessly. Even if the H&F one was twice as slow, I'd still be stoked with that ;D
Depending on who operated the machine, we would use 2-3 belts for a full doorslammer chassis.

Yeah, and they add up. So does buying the replacement bearings in boxes of 100. They don't last long.

I bought a table saw (+ bandsaw & dust extractor) from the a few years ago. Motor on saw went splat after a couple of weeks, rang them up & they sent me another (motor) no questions asked, havent had any probs with any of the other gear, though only using it casually. I think if you were trying to use them for business use I'd be really checking them out

Thats cause they replace so many of them there are no more questions they can ask
