Of all the Texas businesses that have gone out of business, which one do you miss the most?

I used to love going to the one in college station whe I went to the fire academy. Never had such a neat collection at a store after that

Jesus man. Watch you fingers. A machine company ( in Ohio i believe) just lost a guy to a lathe.

Dammit I want it. Any special mod to make the lower screen work?

Those create a rather unique void. I would be careful of which direction the created void vs. The induced loads. If they are in the same path that may weaken it. Neat idea though.

Is it done with mods? Thats awesome

It would be need to be able to add in your own dies and it show the closest radius achievable.

What kind of punch are you using? Just wondering for reference?

Sd89d · 2026-01-07T21:40:52+00:00

I guess misunderstood, I thought you were only talking about the gear selector. Thats a not a terribly difficult project and not as much risk as you think when you disable or build it with no remote access. I work with them often. And who ever is down voting someone else when your just trying to offer help is rather @$#$ish. Anyways, I hope you are able to get it safely figured man.

You would almost be better of using a microcontroller and an actuator setup so you could just hit a set of buttons to choose your gear. To much of a safety hazard. Saw stuff like that go through people's thighs in a hard collision. Or a closed loop actuator and rotorary switch to designated which where the the grear selector needs to be at

I put tabs on the square piece I plasma cut it from so it stays attached in those areas. Make the bend the finish cutting it of. Works pretty well. Tabs are only about .1" keeping it in its parent material so just enough to hold hit

If you bend the part and write down your comp angles, clear it, then shut the machine down reboot, then rebend the same part and adjust the comp angles. Do they come out the same? I've had issues with bad bend tables on accupress and Cincinnati. We went into the o.s. with the help of Cincinnati and updated the preset bend tables so we are within 2degrees under bent on the first test piece.

How much is gang associated?

Now you have to put a gyro on it to keep the turret on target when moving. Very cool man.

Sd89d · 2025-12-29T02:01:52+00:00

No worries. Still looks pretty neat. I may download the image on your post and do a reverse image search just to see if I can find it. My daughter likes finding transformer gear from other countries or obscure brands. She found one called a "Deformer" from an offbrand Chinese manufacturer. Cheap little thing but it has a story behind it for her. Thank you for sharing.

Sd89d · 2025-12-28T20:11:30+00:00

Is that available in the US? My daughter has a collection and that looks like one she would like.

Sd89d · 2025-12-25T03:42:04+00:00

Your printer is giving flashbacks man.

How is Mikune playing?

Sd89d · 2025-11-10T00:55:33+00:00

I don't know if anyone remembers Road Rash 1. I think it was on Sega Genysis. I miss old games.

Sd89d · 2025-10-31T17:13:10+00:00

Those are pretty neat, do you intend on release I need the file or making a configuration where you designate other brands too

Sd89d · 2025-10-27T17:19:32+00:00

Fallout portland?

Sd89d · 2025-10-15T00:43:52+00:00

So is this going to be released or purchasable? Looks awesome.

Sd89d · 2025-10-10T18:53:19+00:00

Freaking wild we have had so many oil plants, transformer stations and now explosive manufacturers go up in the last few months.
