Well I got my plasmacam all setup in the corner and dialed in. We ran diagnostics on it and made sure everything was working right and reading each other. The plasmacam diagnostics tool is great and makes quick work for checking connections and for fluid movement of the machine.

I’ve had my JD2 Model 3 tube bender for many years now and had it mounted in the floor in the middle of the garage, this worked great but required me to move EVERYTHING to bend some tube, talk about a major hassle.

So the title may be long but I know a bunch of people refer to the Central Machinery Horizontal Metal Cutting Bandsaw as the “HF Bandsaw” (or Harbor Freight). The bandsaw is extremely popular for the “DIY” garage/weekend warriors and even in some small 4×4 shops due to it’s extremely low price.

I also got a couple 18″ vise grips and 3 dykem markers.

So I decided shortly after getting another tool (my press brake + contraption) that I was quickly running out of space in my 2 car garage, and that in order to keep fabricating for my 4×4 in my own garage I was going to have to do something about it.

I’ve always wanted to be able to bend plate steel in my garage/shop but could never justify dropping the coin on an iron worker or industrial size/type 50 ton hydraulic press.
