Updated price list. I am selling because I am upgrading or no longer using.
Custom 6-axis Work Rest - $400 (used)
Custom Oven - $400 (used)
20-ton Modular Press - $400 (lightly used)
Work Rest Info:
The 6-axis work rest is built to a high level of precision and rigidity; perpendicularity and all critical dimensions have been machined or ground to ±0.001". It moves independently in three linear directions and three rotational directions: pitch is +100°, -15° (approx) of motion. Roll and yaw are ±5° of motion. The pitch rotates around a hardened/ground Ø35mm shaft, while the roll and yaw rotate around hardened/ground Ø8mm pins. All hardware uses a 6mm allen key. The main linear slide uses a Igus DryLin W linear rail/bearing/clamp system bolted to 1" thick Mic-6 jig plate http://www.igus.com/wpck/3596/drylin_w?C=US&L=en. The bearings are impervious to dirt/grit and require no lubrication. The vertical slide uses a precision-ground square shaft and custom square shaft clamps. The left-to-right motion is minimal and intended to allow for initial set-up only. You can see me standing on the work rest at the end of this video https://youtu.be/0B3HkL4RNDI?t=2m8s
The main unique virtue of the work rest is repeatability - you take some time to get it squared-up to your grinder. After than, every time you put the work rest in, it is in the same alignment. The work rest is perfect for scandi and saber grinds - it allows you to set both grind angle and depth of cut. Unfortunately, the work rest table cannot be configured in a vertical position like a MAPP arm can. However, it is completely modular and you can make new components as desired.
Oven Info:
I built this oven from scratch. It works great and heats quickly. The photos do not show the controller and power supply. The controller is a basic Aubur PID without ramping. Danger! The oven does not have a door switch! The power lines coming into the back of the oven are not shielded! There is a main power switch (a circuit breaker in a box) and a controller power switch (a standard home switch in a box).
Press Info:
I built the press from 1/2" laser-cut steel. It is currently configured to stamp logos, but due to its modular construction, it can be reconfigured as desired. The frame plates are 1/2" laser-cut steel, the ram plate and spacer plates are also 1/2" thick. The action is smooth and square with no play; the clearance in either direction is adjustable. I switched to electro-etching and no longer use it. The bottle jack is included. Although not shown in this pic, a nice welded 3-leg steel stand with casters is also included, BUT is somewhat unstable due to the insufficient leg spacing. I'm also throwing in a 12-ton Harbor Freight press.
