I've watched Forged in the Fire while sitting in the auto repair shop.

“But will it keel?”

Sherriff Andy Griffith's office phone (the one Barney is talking on) did not have "rotary dial", they went through the operator to make outgoing calls.
LOL history is so quickly forgotten.

I remember that. "Sarah, get me the drugstore." I just wanted a pic of someone talking on an old school phone and thought of Barney.

I'm not saying this thread is like Tombstone...but...

With an r8 taper and 1.5hp it will need to go even slower than usual at lighter passes. I wonder which tormach he has, some of them are like .75hp. We're talking weed eaters have more power. For doing small batch light material removal it's perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with it. Don't mean to crap on your parade my friend.

Oh no offense taken at all, I had meant "I resemble that remark!" to be taken more tongue-in-cheek, I'm pretty aware of what you can't do with a Tormach. Probably should have used this!

I dream of being able to run something like a mori or similar... maybe one day.

By “hell” I mean 3D Anvil

They are spendy that's for sure. But for holding tolerances and part surface finishes they excel. Crashing them gets expensive

That reminds me of the first series I ever binge watched until I finished it: tell me you know what this is from...

 

[Blues]

Of course.

I know Dust in the Wind, but I haven't heard Pizza in the Waves.

You look up to me like I'm a pizza on the roof

Too bad. I don't see Japan, Hong Kong,Finland,Italy,Mexioco,Europe and Canada on the list but yes, China would be the lowest cost OEM source and that would maximize profits. I don't have any Hoback knives, but if I bought one at those prices and my belief that it was "Made in USA" was a part of my purchase decision, I would be quite angry. Pride of Ownership is part of our purchase decisions.
That said, I think that the full COO disclosure Hoback Knives has now posted is a sincere effort to mitigate the damage created. Buyers can now make an educated choice.
Hope everyone can move on.

Ya'll are making me cry. My little X3 has been fun to play with, but it tops out well short of doing much useful.

Anything more will have to wait until I move somewhere that is not a second story walkup, that's all that fit up the stairs. (Yes, this was about as ill-advised as it sounds, but I have had fun with it.)
