    Amazing restoration for an 1870 tool that now looks like it was just delivered from the factory. Thank you.

    I like it!
    Ran a 40' [yes feet] Gray long time, in a mold shop. If you've wondered how garage door seals and such were made....some are extruded now-a-days but many of the old molds still are run.
    I'd bring in a planer if one turns up, 10' or so. A great, economical, way to produce press brake dies. The single point cutters don't impart so much stress like milling cutters, or needing to be straightened.
    Sincerely,

    His videos on short run prototyping are some of the best out there. All worth viewing.
