Fun and learning, a great combo. I walked into one of the local shops about 5 yers back, looking for a 3" piece of very heavy pipe to make a cat head for my Sheldon to facilitate threading a new barrel for old AT&T, my deer rifle since the 1960's. While standing beside the door I was instructed to move out of the way as one of the employees was about to use a huge punch press, to chop wood! He was right to warn me cuz when he tripped it, two pieces of wood from a 24" round went flying about 30 feet each way. He carried them back and did it again making 4 pieces to fit the shop stove. Pretty deep in January AIR. The shop owner gave me about a foot of sched 80, which wasn't really heavy enough but did get the job done. The highest tech in the place was a cnc driven plasma torch over a water table used to cut out artistic sheet metal stuff. I didn't see it working which would have been nice. > The flywheel on the 30 ton press had an absolute encoder and > particular positions caused things to move in and out of the way of > the press tool and die.
