[68RS350]

I was wondering if any of you guys have one? How ofter do you use it and if you have one where did you get it from? I am interested in getting one and wondering if any of you guys have one or have any experiences with them. Thanks!

i have one that i aquired through a closing shop, i use it a lot.... atleast in the sheetmetal fab stages. after having this old home made worn out thing and getting to where i can actually do what i want with it, i am looking for a larger throat, more rigid set up, so i can screw up really big parts

For some quality machines check out http://www.wheelingmachines.com/

If you want all kinds of info on how to build one, what to do and what not to do when building one check out www.metalmeet.com some serious metal working talent hangs out on there. Kerry (who makes the imperial wheeling machines I put the link to above) has all kinds of post on there about how he builds and designs his wheels and shows you how it makes everything down to the adjusters etc. I've done the math and I can't make one for less than I can get a quality one but I have to factor in time, just raw material you can save some money doing it yourself but do yourself a favor and get some quality wheels, check out www.hoosierpattern.com for them.

www.englishwheels.net has been around for a few years i've heard and they have a kit that has all the wheels and stuff and you just make your frame. I think englishwheels.net has a large cast machine also. They have a bench machine and smaller cast machine to so you dont have to take up space in the garage.

I have one that was built locally that works decent. I don't use it often, but when I do, it is great to have around.
