Slip rolls and shears

2002-05-29 Thread Gordon Watson.
Argyle has had a chinese origin combination slip roll/shear and brake for 7 years now .used every day..tend to be poorly set up when you buy it but worth its weight in gold. we grind the shear blades yearly and dont let Father in law crop hardened screws to length on it! the regrind cost $80
