spent a fun 5 hours machining (and handing) slots in the j'shaft plate.
my big air compressor blew up last year.
the pets got me a new one for father's day.
however, they can't read, and 1.5HP ain't nearly enough to keep up with a whiz wheel or die grinder trying to go through thick steel; air tools were no help but for......
completely ate SEVEN blades in the bodysaw just cutting the two end holes.
this was well worth it!
my poor dremel did over half of the work slotting the inside ones; it had smoke coming out but kept on spinning.
a harbor freight special woulda puked then seized forever under that much side load.
that is some brutal caca going through 1/4" steel.
but, i saved 30 bucks on a short belt.
kathy lee gifford couldn't have found underage asian sweat shop labor to do that for only 6 bucks/hour!
