Equipment Needed ! ! !
I have included in my signature major equipment that I currently have for my shop. I had considered a blast cabinet but have since changed my mind after lurking in our group as well as others. Seems a blast cabinet is of most value to someone prepping auto/motorcycle parts. That said, based on my signature list, what am I missing? Have a few extra $$$ that were to be for equipment, so I am looking for another "value adder" for the shop.
Maybe a press brake set up?
Thank you guys & girls in advance . . . .

P.S. Got my table in place and "level" yesterday. Just need to bring the adjustable leveling feet down to the slab today.

Re: Equipment Needed ! ! !
I use my press brake and sheetmetal brake both pretty often. Might be a different price point, but I use my lathe all the time too.

I second what I Lean said also, I have a press brake and sheet metal brake also. If you want to do custom I think it greatly helps. Wish I had a lathe.

Yup, press brake, sheet metal brake.....and for me, I love my blast cabinet. I use it constantly, especially when cleaning a project for powder coat.....oh and muriatic acid. I don't think I could run without any of those.

Aside from the welders, the bead blast cabinet, iron worker and Baileigh saw are used most. There's hardly a day goes by that I don't use the bead blaster.

I would love to have a pressbrake. Haven't used my blast cabinet in at least 2 years

Re: Equipment Needed ! ! !
Just ordered one . . .It's a 20 TON American Made.
I will add a SWAG OFFROAD 20 TON Finger Brake Heavy Duty DIY Builder Kit to it and I should be all fixed up.

Re: Equipment Needed ! ! !
Of all the things I'd want most, it would be a brake to bend the metal. Your capabilities go up immensely. Instead of just making flat metal pieces, you can actually make things with bends in them! As soon as I get room, that's what I'll be doing.
