Their HAFCO woodworking machines are a bit that way too .. I'm sorry I bought one .. Had to go and buy a Triton later so I could cut reasonably straight .... M

I have had my eye on one of these for a while.

Think I'll be in trouble if I buy one though.

That's a neat idea, haven't seen it before. I have a large linisher like that and they are great. It would be good for dressing up tube after you have notched it but to linish the whole notch it would make a fair mess, use up belts and get the tube mighty hot IMO

Haven't used one in that brand before, but an American version.
1 5/8 0.083" wall 4130 would notch it at a 45* in under 10 seconds, effortlessly. Even if the H&F one was twice as slow, I'd still be stoked with that ;D

Depending on who operated the machine, we would use 2-3 belts for a full doorslammer chassis.

Yeah, and they add up. So does buying the replacement bearings in boxes of 100. They don't last long.

I bought a table saw (+  bandsaw & dust extractor) from the a few years ago. Motor on saw went splat after a couple of weeks, rang them up & they sent me another (motor) no questions asked, havent had any probs with any of the other gear, though only using it casually. I think if you were trying to use them for business use I'd be really checking them out
