New brake for the shop

[MP&C]

Well I got a phone call yesterday (Thurs) from FEDEX letting me know I had a package showing up today at their freight depot... the new brake from Baileigh! This was what I selected for the contest prize that I won recently on Metalmeet. On the way back home from picking it up, I remembered I need to make room. One phone call and the old brake was sold, with a truck on the way. Here we are, home safe and sound....





Brake extraction device....








The new owner had shown up in his truck before I even got it to the door....





....and in with the new...








This even gives me a bit more space so I can upgrade the 137L to a larger shear that will cut 48" wide... maybe next year..





I did get the power connected and a small sample bent, but didn't have much time to test it out as we had a Blue Crabs baseball game to attend this evening. More to follow....
