Show off your Fabrication Equipment
This is a thread just like showing off your garage but instead show everyone what type of equipment you have.


Here is some of my fabrication equipment.

Pexto Slip Roll, rated for 14ga by 38". Min diameter that can be rolled is 2.75in. I've done 1/8" by 1.5ft with it already. Its reallyl handy for making 3" exhaust straight pieces or catch cans.


Dries & Krump manual brake, rated for 16ga by 48". You can see below it some stuff i've rolled and bent.


Alva Allen 5 ton Mechanical Punch Press. Haven't used it yet, still have to tear it down to clean it and do some maintenance on it.


Kalamazoo band saw, 3/4hp motor, coolant system and hydraulic arm for lowering. You can see my Miller & Snapon mig welders in the back ground.


Comaca mechanical notcher, can do a 4" by 4" notch about 1/8" thick ms.


Blasting cabinet with hopper, filteration system on back.




I have 3 dewalt grinders, body hammers, 2 chop saws & i'm building a English Wheel.

I've been looking around for a lathe and mill but just haven't found the one I want close enough yet. I drew up some plans for a tubing bender as well. Just have to get the time to actually start building it.

Its about a 2 1/2 car garage for working on the cars. If i'm working on something in the garage and the weather is crappy then my nx is in the storage unit I rent.

Nice collection you have started. I've seen many home made blasting booths or cabinets just like your looking at doing that work well. It doesn't really matter what it looks like as long as it gets the job done safely.

I always knew you had good stuff. Just from looking at what you did to the awd NX and that minitruck, you obviously know your shit.
