I've got one of those and a smaller one that I made some hot rivet setting dies for and they work great! Have only done up to 1/2" with it though but it was easy to turn them into hot work hammers. The smaller one did this with 3/8" solid rivets for a fuel cell skid for my old WW2 Dodge.

Pics of the dies?

Where do you even get rivets?

Slight tangent here... I recently started working on a base for my 200lb anvil. I glued up forty blocks about 5"x5"x10" and it weighs about 180lbs. I was going to lag bolt the anvil to it, but noticed, like the one pictured, that is doesn't have any holes in it. I was thinking of seeing if my local machine shop could put some 3/8" holes in it, but wasn't sure if there would be hardness issues. Do the straps you made keep it firmly planted on the base?

don't fuck up your anvil with holes (or waste your money).

There's a million pics on the net of how to secure them.

I like the chain/turnbuckle method, but I've never owned an anvil either...

x2

do not drill holes in your anvil. you don't really want or need it bolted down. Metal straps as shown work good. My anvil, I actually just cut some 2x8 wood blocks with the shape of the anvil base in them and sandwiched the base of the anvil and lag bolted the blocks down. Works great.

$300 variable speed 2hp bridgeport head, I could use it to upgrade my round ram but don't feel like spending the money on a machine that's a stopgap.

If that was close I'd snag that. Would be great on the fab table to hold small flat ferrous parts for surface prep.

I've always wondered how well they'd work for something like that. I have 2 or 3 smaller....like 18" or 12" ones that've I've gathered over the years, but I haven't actually played with them enough to know if they fully demagnetize when you throw the lever or if they'll hold on just enough to keep the chips and grinding dust around.


Some day I'll actually set up the little 618 surface grinder and use one for it's intended purpose. :laughing:

If that grinder doesn't have power feed I don't predict you ever setting it up. :laughing:

In fact, it a hydraulic model. Even came with a little RPC. Just haven't figured out where I want to set it up, so it's sat right where I unloaded it a year ago. :laughing:

One of the YouTube guys, make everything, uses one on his fab table for this purpose. Doesn't seem to attract grinding dust when off.

You want to unload one of those small chucks? Lol

i almost tried to, and have no use. Then I read up that you might not be able to service it yourself and decided I don't need yet another project. Figured if it was a fix I have time for, the guy in the machine shop would have fixed it himself

Not really. What I need is the part that hooks to a long driveshaft that holds the stones at one end and the other is a motor with a wheel what you grab to slowly advance the stones.

I would have to look but that thing might work to power it, but would be kinda heavy to sled back and forth 4-5’ to hone a cylinder tube.

This is what I’m looking for:flipoff2:.

i use one of these mounted under a piece of 1/4" plate, works very well for cleaning up small plasma cut parts

Amazon.com

i also have 5 of these sitting on a shelf that I intend to build into to welding table. thinking it will be faster to switch on and off when i have allot of parts and i'm hoping that they will hold better- or i'll all more until they hold as i want.

i also want to use them to make a forklift piece so that i can lift and set sheets on the cnc table from the top. wired into the forlift battery.
