    FS - Optima drill sharpener, Jones Shipman surface grinder, Moore rotary table...more

    Yeah, it's cool that the head and table locks and the raise/lower screw are on the front, using the same wrench for both lock and raise. Plus the table itself is much beefier than a typical Alzmetall or Ibarmia table. Not sure of drill depth, will check. And FWIW, the Holy Grail of Optima...

    Rigger recommendation to carry machine and his forklift from SC to MI ??

    Machine is VMC that weighs 9,500 lbs.... needs 15,000 lb capacity forklift to load here and unload in Michigan for buyer. I know it will be seriously expensive but might work out better than me renting a forklift on this end. (my current lift out of service for a while) Milacron

    15k rated fork lift for 13.5k machine - will it lift?

    Have no experience with that specific forklift but with CAT 15,500 (really a Mitsubishi) I have lifted (or attempted to lift) that scenario a few times and IMHO it would be pretty iffy without extra (temporary) counterweights. I used about 750 pounds of steel plates in a chip bin that was...

    Late model Hyundai 70D-7e diesel forklift goes from starting perfectly to not at all

    Every use since buying this forklift about 2 years ago it has started within one second of turning the key, as it did last week. But today the starter turns it over fine, gauges display no errors.... but nothing, not even a hint of firing up. Fuel tank half full, glow plug light works (on then...

    Weiler condor Power feeds not engaging

    I realize I'm a year late, but did you get it sorted out ? I think on the Condor you have to pull up on the feed lever but even then it might not engage the feed gear without moving carriage or cross slide handwheels a bit...but you probably knew that..

    OT - Replace a "smart" water heater "power board" with a standard thermostat ? (pic)

    No leaning necessary....since it was under warranty, and the part was unobtanium... that is precisely what Rheem offered to do... I remove old WH, take to HD, they give me new one, I install new one. They would even have paid up to $450 for the labor*. But it was all too much PITA considering...

    OT - Replace a "smart" water heater "power board" with a standard thermostat ? (pic)

    Note I said "sort of" emergency....i.e. the type where wife wants to take a shower really bad ;) As to the Captain Obvious suggestion of "simply" replacing the WH.... it was replaced just 4 months ago (due to leak) and up three flights of stairs, draining and refilling 50 gallons, 40 mile trip...
