    You can have one for lots of $$$$ The beauty of it is that it leaves no marks on the metal in some operations.

    Very Nice!! A shame most of us broke-ass retirees can't even afford to watch the video, let alone rent time on the machine(If you need to ask the price you'd better check with your MD first!) LOL!!

    That is awesome. Looks a bit less violent than a pullmax. It's cool to see the work it can do in various industries

    I've seen other vids with 6mm bent like butter, there are some very talented people out there with real big tools (Toys). They make it look so easy! What about this auger (Screw flight) shaping

    Vanna is way better looking, in my opinion.
