Diversification is key (they say..)

Picked this up from Enco for just about a buck a pound.

If I only had a spot for one of those. Good for you !

My shop's too full, too. Have to get rid of something(s) every time I get something..
Home-brew solar collectors. 20 ga. galv.

So how much does it weigh?


How do you like it so far - I've been thinking of getting a brake - and Enco does usually have some good prices.

It's supposed to be 1500# shipping, so I figure about 1400. Seems to work fine, not much to them. I've done a lot of alum bending, but this isn't much like that. Heavier action, but with the 20 ga. I couldn't even feel resistance. Ordered this today: G5772 52" Sheet Metal Shear
Grizzly was $500-1000 less than I could find anywhere else (around 2500 less than a National or Tennsmith made here, wish I was rich..)
ps: $.98/pound

I'd love to have enough space for something like that! Looks pretty beefy. I'm sure you've expanded your project list now with that purchase. Cheers.
